RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.DOMAIN\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.DOMAIN\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://DOMAIN.com/FolderName/$1 [L]

If I type in SubDomain.DOMAIN.COM it redirects me to DOMAIN.COM/Folder/ fine, but I do not want the url in the browser address bar to change to DOMAIN.COM/Folder/ but remain as SubDomain.DOMAIN.COM.

Any clues to this.

    When a rewriterule points to a domain, an explicit redirect will occur. By default a 302 redirect (temporary redirect).

    I suggest you to use the P(proxy) flag. For this to work, mod_proxy should be enabled.

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.DOMAIN\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://DOMAIN.com/FolderName$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.DOMAIN\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://DOMAIN.com/FolderName/$1 [L,P]

    Also remember to set-up a ProxyReverse directive.

    Context:    server config, virtual host, directory

    So, you cannot have a ProxyReverse in .htaccess.

    Taken directly from: Proxying Content with mod_rewrite Apache Docs.
    Consider using either ProxyPass or ProxyPassMatch whenever possible in preference to mod_rewrite.
