WAMP localhost not found, giving a blank page

When I tried to open http://localhost after starting the WAMP server, then it gave me the blank page. Then I went to search for the problems from where I discovered the easy solution for escaping from that problem.

1. It is the problem of Port 80 which has been used by some other program. To check/solve this, left-click on the WAMP icon in the system tray which at the bottom right side of the screen:

Apache > Service > Test Port 80
2. Following screen/output pops up in the command mode:

3.Then shut down the Skype program and started browsing http://localhost/ You are done now. You can see the localhost page along with the list of my projects.
