you should have an htdocs folder, that is xampp's root so that is where your vbulletin files should go. You may want to put your vbulletin files in a folder like "forums" because xampps has loaded their stuff in there too... if you copy your vbulletin files directly into htdocs it will replace their index.php file and their menus won't work anymore.
