Hi.

You will have to find the 'httpd.conf', open it in notepad or something similar, locate the 'DocumentRoot' variable and change it's value to the directory you want to be your root.

The 'httpd.conf' can be found in the 'conf' directory of the Apache root directory, most likely somewhere in you XAMPP install dir.
