Hi, I wanted to do the same thing (run Apache and MySQL only locally for trying out a Wiki), and followed the instructions given above. I'm receiving an error message after I "uncommented" #skip-networking in the my.ini. Now MySQL unexpectedly shuts down:

18:21:35 [main] You are not running with administrator rights! This will work for
18:21:35 [main] most application stuff but whenever you do something with services
18:21:35 [main] there will be a security dialogue or things will break! So think
18:21:35 [main] about running this application with administrator rights!

As you can see, I don't have the current version of XAMPP - I don't know whether that makes a difference in this case. I could update, only I'm afraid I would have to go through the procedure of setting up my wiki again..?
