Should be found in C:\xampplite
This needs to be running in order for the site to work locally from what i found.

21,689 PointsMake sure you have the desktopserver application running thats found in that found.
C:\xampplite\DesktopServer
You will need this application running in order for your site to operate locally.
Once you start the application click through the options until you have a page like this. from there the "Sites" button at the bottom will show a list of all your WordPress sites.
Personally I made a shortcut to this application on my desktop so I can start it easily without going into the C:.
Hope this gets it working again for you.
