I don't. IMHO anything that hides stuff you SHOULD know to use the
software/hardware you have its just a bad thing. I value the effort of
ApacheFriends, their product works great and its a fast solution when
you don't wanna go deep into configuration, but not an option for
someone that needs to learn.

Obviously, I installed everything as admin on my local machine. MYSQL is
running as a service. I don't know what this means, but I know it is a
fact.


Well, you should know, its the very knowledge that lead you to this
kind of error/misconfiguration. Windows has services, they're started
when windows starts or on demand, accourding to the way its
configured, starting MySQL as a service ensures that it will start as
soon as windows does, and will keep running in the background till you
stop it or it crashes.


(I am getting these from the Report in WinMYSQLAdmin)


Not a very good source. Log into MySQL using mysql console application
/<mysqldir>/bin/mysql using your name and password and issue an "show
variables like 'LOG';" command.

I tested in my own server here. Simply adding this:

[mysqld]
log

To my.cnf created an <hostname>.log on my "data" directory logging
queries. Make sure that XAMPP is not overwritting your config or using
it from somewhere else. Remove the filename, or give it a full path.
Try this and let us know.
