I suggest you move to a development environment which more closely reflects the live system. For this, you can run a WAMP server and configure it to serve your web site as a domain like mysite.local and then you simply edit your hosts file so that mysite.local resolves to your 127.0.0.1. Then you just type mysite.local into your browser, it resolves to your local PC, and make sure apache is configured for virtual hosts and listening on port 80.

Your hosts is a local DNS lookup file found in windows\system32\drivers\etc. You may need to open it in Notepad which is run as administrator in order to be able to edit it.
