Hi rubengalvan,

Any idea?

Simple. Don't save your own webappications in the folder \xampp\htdocs\xampp\
This specific folder is just for the orange xampp related administrative pages and are secured and configurated in a special way.

create a new directory directly inside \xampp\htdocs\ (e.g. \xampp\htdocs\magento\) and install your webapplication in this new folder.

best wishes,
Altrea
