    Thanks Govpatel, I moved my wordpress folders from C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs\ to
    c:\wamp\www
    Now I can see them as projects when I type localhost in my browser.

    Wehay its working thanks guys.

    My plan is to develop my site locally on my PC then upload it to 1and1 or such like later.

    Hi Dave, thanks for the reply.

    The only htdocs directory I could find in C: was C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs

    So I unzipped my downloaded folder wordpress-3.3.1 to
    C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs\wordpress
    Should it be in htdocs or one dir up?

    I then copied it to
    C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs\testwordpress

    I created a user “admin” in my test “dave” database as you instructed.

    In my I.E. address window I type C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs\testwordpress\wp-admin
    and nothing happens.

    If I browse to C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\htdocs\testwordpress\wp-admin I see a load of .php files.
    If I double click on install.php a wordpad window pops up with its contents.

    If I click on the green W icon in my task window I can see PHP in the list and hovering over the W says the Wampserver is online.

    Do you know what I am doing wrong as I am at the same place I was before?
