Ok, just to clear the confusion, XAMPP is WORKING!

Go to the folder \xampp\htdocs and delete or rename the index.php and index.html files.

backup the file named index.php in your htdocs folder to index.php.bak (or nething) and then bring in ur new index file here, hit localhost on your browser, it should work now!!

Put your files in htdocs/xxx then navigate to localhost/xxx
If that doesn't work, check the DocumentRoot, in your apache config file.
