XAMPP 1.7.4 on Windows 7 Defaults to Splash page

I set up XAMPP running apache and tried to set up the virtual host, but it wouldn't work, I keep getting routed to the XAMPP splash page. http://localhost/index.html says "It works!" I uncommented the are where it said vhost_alias module, httpd-vhosts and rewrite_module.

I also added the following to my httpd-vhosts.conf & httpd.conf files:

<Directory "C:/Sites/test.dev-web">
Allow From All
AllowOverride FileInfo
Options +FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName "test.dev-web"
        DocumentRoot "C:/Sites/test.dev-web"
</VirtualHost>

I also added this to my hosts file in my system32\drivers\etc:

127.0.0.1     test.dev

I also have 127.0.0.1 localhost in that file

However whenever I type in test.dev in chrome, it takes me to the xampp splash page (test.dev/xampp).

Running windows 7 and XAMPP 1.7.4

XAMPP says that apache is running on the control panel. I shut off all programs that could be running port 80 (skype)

Any ideas on what's wrong?

Easy solution: Delete XAMPP's local test site (xampp/htdocs) and replace it with your own site.

The Correct solution: Set up proper virtual hosts. Set up multiple virtual hosts on windows

or the link that Vinay shared will give you a good guide.
