xampp 5.6.3. - recovery - xampp 5.6.15. Dashboard/splash

[Tarzanboy]

Hello.

Last weekend, I've made an laptop recovery. I was using 5.6.3. and everytime I've got http://localhost/xampp/index.php in my browsers.
Now after the recovery, I've installed today a new version 5.6.15, and the xampp/index.php is gone. My browsers give me http://localhost/dashboard/

I've looked in the backup, and I've noticed that in 5.6.3. the htdocs/xampp folder is full of files.
In 5.6.15 however are only 3 files.

I've tried to install version 5.6.15 3 times, but the same problem occurs.
The install took also a long time. Normally a few minutes, but version 5.6.15 almost 20 minutes.

My question: does this new version 5.6.15 (I've also tried 7.01 without luck) must have htdocs/xampp/index.php or is this dashboard thing new and suppose to be like this?
I liked the localhost/xampp/index.php with the menu "welcome, status, safety,applications, telephone book etc etc"

I'm thinking of deleting version 5.6.15. and install 5.6.3. again.

Please could someone answer my question?
Thank you.
