xampp security

[chili5]

When I go to xampp and start it on my PC, does that open my computer for others to see my files?

I don't want to do this, but I don't want this to happen.


If someone could clarify for me that would be great.

Thanks,

James :)

Yes and no, depends on your configuration including your firewall.
