Actually that's another problem I have with the WAMP I downloaded from
wampserver.com. I double (left) click on the wampmanager icon on the
desktop and nothing happens. However I opened httpd.conf with NotePad
and saw DocumentRoot specified by
DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www/"
Is the root document the Desktop virtual folder which contains the My
Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and Recycle Bin virtual
folders? Thanks.
