I tryed "open with" but don't know what program I should select to open them with. any help greatly appreciated, tried Google can't find anything.
I edited the file with notepad and somehow it turned them all into notepad files and .php files not working now

PHP files can't be simple opend like html files, they need to be interpreted.
So instead of opening the files, you must request them by your browser.

The files was working and viewable until I edited one of the files and saved and they all turned into notepad files now when I access the site they don't show up at all, if I access the site via index.html it shows "it works" if I access it by index.php it shows nothing and doesn't load, I can log into phpmyadmin fine as well

Let me summarize:

• phpmyadmin is working
• The orange XAMPP administration page is running

Both of them are written in php, so: PHP is working perfectly.
Your file is not. So the issue must be something inside your file

I edited httpd-xampp.conf windows and saved it changed all my files to notepad and now wont show them when I access my wordpress folder

Windows just changes the default program for files for quick opening, that has absolutely nothing to do with how Apache thinks to act with that file.

but no php file is assessable, no matter if I make a test page or use one from wordpress

only thing I edited in httpd-xampp.conf was allow all then saved, I reinstalled 2 times and tried everything again from scratch still no luck

Hello
is it possible that your DirectoryIndex is wrong?

DirectoryIndex index.html

XAMPP Administration Panel and phpmyadmin are using .php files too.
Test it out yourself: http://localhost/xampp/index.php

Your problem is a third party issue (either from wordpress, rewriting, own files, etc). We can't provide for third party products, sorry.
