like you do this with other files/folders in your windows, with your windows explorer for example.
save your files you want to have served with apache inside your xampp\htdocs folder or a subfolder of it (but not inside your xampp\htdocs\xampp folder!!!)

you can't view files "in xampp", but you can request them with your browser.

type in your browser address bar
http://localhost/filename.xyz

or if you have the file inside a subfolder of htdocs
http://localhost/subfoldername/filename.xyz

thats no qualified error reporting.
What do you already tried to start the xampp components?
What behaviour do you expect?
What behaviour do you get?

or should i ask my crystal ball?
