I have everything set up correctly or so it seems. I have created the database and can connect using //localhost/drupal. When I launch my browser it brings me to the first page in Drupal. --------->

Welcome to your new Drupal-powered website. This message will guide you through your first steps with Drupal, and will disappear once you have posted your first piece of content.
The first thing you will need to do is create the first account. This account will have full administration rights and will allow you to configure your website. Once logged in, you can visit the administration section and set up your site's configuration.
Drupal comes with various modules, each of which contains a specific piece of functionality. You should visit the module list and enable those modules which suit your website's needs.
Themes handle the presentation of your website. You can use one of the existing themes, modify them or create your own from scratch.
We suggest you look around the administration section and explore the various options Drupal offers you. For more information, you can refer to the Drupal handbooks online.
*****However, when I try and create a new log in, it brings me back to my XAMPP sql and php bundle main page? Has anyone had any experience with this, or have I simply left off a step. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
