The thing you wanna do is little bit tricky.To do the thing you want just follow following steps:

1 Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache*.*.*\conf\httpd.conf

2 Find following lines :

DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/www"

3 Modify them to change your root directory /*In my case i want my "C:\" drive as root*/ so i do this :

DocumentRoot "c:/"

4 Now go to c:\wamp\www find index.php and copy it,and pest into your new root /*In my case i want my "C:\" drive as root*/

5 Now open that index.php and find the following lines:

$wampConfFile = '../wampmanager.conf';
$aliasDir = '../alias/';

6 Now just modify them relative to your root /*In my case i want my "C:\" drive as root*/ so i write:

$wampConfFile = './wamp/wampmanager.conf';
$aliasDir = './wamp/alias/';

Now it will show the default wamp opening page which is shown in the picture!
