WordPress Permalink Fix for 2.2.3

This past Friday I installed the latest version of WordPress 2.2.3. When configuring the site, I noticed that custom permalinks didnot work correctly, in fact none of the settings beside the default would properly reference the pages. On Wordpress the moderator suggested to re-load the WordPress files. See: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/134332. In the past I have chosen the Date and name based option. However, for shorter URLs it seemed prudent to go with the custom structure: /%postname%/. This will return a url http://www.urlname.com/pageorpostname.
