where's the localhost alias set so that URLs can be adjusted?

I can't for the life of me understand where the previous developer set up the configuration of the localhost system so that the application can run with a URL like:

http://my-app/index.php instead of http://localhost/index.php

I've checked the following files but can't find my-app anywhere:

httpd-vhosts.conf, the windows hosts file, wampmanager.tpl, wampmanager.ini, .htaccess, and files inside the wamp/bin/apache/Apachexxxx/ folder. Where on earth else should I look for this mysterious setting? The application's running on wampserver 2.1

Problem solved! It's so simple I can't believe I'd been cracking my head over this for days.

The old developer had simply renamed the computer name, from (right-click) My Computer's Properties. The name was changed to my-app. That's it.

When you enter my-app.com to browser, open website under the C:/wamp/www/my-app/ folder.
