    You need to change the DocumentRoot value in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf from 

    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"

    to

    DocumentRoot "E:/MyProject/Source/Admin"

    and configure permissions also.

    <Directory "E:/MyProject/Source/Admin">
        Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
        AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>

    and then restart the apache server(in xampp control panel). so from there onwards whenever you access http://localhost/ it will execute the files under E:/MyProject/Source/Admin

    see for more info.
