Simply replace/rename the xampp index.php with your own web site's index file in xampp\htdocs then you call it by simply using:
http://localhost
Instead of getting the XAMPP web site you will get the site you just replaced it with.

To get the XAMPP welcome page after you do this then call it by:
http://localhost/xampp

I have just given a simple explanation here:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopi ... 1138#91138

Also try read here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xam ... #startpage
and the rest of the FAQ is worth reading.

And here:
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html#1168
The rest of this page is worh reading also.

Keep the links to these pages as a bookmark so you can refer to them when you get stuck and before posting here.
