I figured out that when I connect to http://localhost from my browser, that I am looking at the c:/xampp/htdocs folder.
What I cannot figure out, is how phpMyAdmin is available when I type http://localhost/phpmyadmin in my browser, but there is no phpmyadmin in the c:/xampp/htdocs folder?
What's the secret/trick that makes it available in directory that it does not exist in?
Thanks
