You can do one of 2 things.

 

1.) Create an index.html file in your root that will redirect you to www.mysite.com/catalog/index.php. I like this way because you could also create a splash screen for your site, or a what's new index page before people even enter into your store. (easy way)

 

or

 

2.) Move all of the files out of your catagory folder and into the root directory. This will take a long time to make sure that all of the files are in their correct places, and you will also have the check both of your configure.php files (one in includes, and one in admin/includes) and change the DIR_WS_CATALOG to "". You will also have to double check all of your pages, going through as much of your site as you can in order to make sure that there aren't any leaks or breaks that could crash your site. This is a little more intensive, but probably more of what you are going for.
