/XAAMP/htdocs/drupal
This will be your root directory. From this point onwards in this documentation all paths will start from this root directory.
copy the file
./sites/default/default.settings.php

./sites/default/settings.php

./sites/default/files
... unlocked and with "Read & Write" privileges.
