Duh watch this...

*Goes through start menu to open Apache in console window*
*Goes to http://localhost*

Heh heh sorry to waste some more time

But 2 things I want to know:
1. What is the need for the service monitor to me and what services can I install?
2. Must I manually run the WinMySQLAdmin and Apache consoles every time I want to see php files on my system? What little tricks can I use?

Will this work/be sensible enough:
If I want to test a page on locahost or to make changes to a database, I have links to the two pages in just one HTML page kept in the taskbar? I click it and if I want to test a page I just click the hyper link to C:\My Docs\folder\folder\test.php
or if I want to make changes to my Sql db then I click the link going to the index.php page of PHPMyAdmin ?

Sound clever enough? Or is there an easier way?

EDIT: You can ignore the above questions for now. I've tried reading the manuals and relvant documentation but when I change the default folder for Apache, the page @ http://localhost is always the same Apache startup page. HELP!!
