I know you can do it with a .htaccess file but I don't no where they are in the xampp folder.

I am not too sure what you are trying to achieve here but a .htaccess file goes in the root directory of where ever you want to restrict access to. It will be effective for that directory and all subdirectories under that tree.
You will already find a .htaccess file in the
xampp\htdocs\xampp directory if you set a user/password in Security to protect your XAMPP directories.
phpMyAdmin can be protected by giving the root user a password, which is set from the Security page, for mySQL. It uses the same root/password combination as mySQL.
That means it is only accessible by the root user from the
http://localhost/phpmyadmin address.
So by following the advice on the Security page you will restrict your XAMPP directories and your phpMyAdmin to
http://localhost - which is only your PC and is not accesible from the Internet or your local network.
Anything else you want to know will be better served by being much more specific.
