If you're just running XAMPP for development and test drive purposes on your laptop, then you can ignore this for now.  MySQL will use conservative defaults if it doesn't find a my.cnf file.

Once your ready to start playing around with the MySQL configuration, you can put the my.cnf file in a number of different places.  I always put mine in the data directory of MySQL, for instance, c:\xampp\mysql\data
