Posted: 21. October 2016 12:36how can i access my localhost projects without being redirected to the xampp home page without having to type the full localhost/htdocs path.
Either replace the index.php from htdocs (this file does the redirection to the Xampp Home Page) and put your own files into htdocs, or create another folder for your own project and change DocumentRoot for localhost to your needs. Last not least you also can create your own VirtualHost with your own DocumentRoot for your project.
See the Apache documentation for explanation and examples: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/en/
