There are two things you can do to "make life so much simpler", both are
beyond the scope of this forum. However, they are:

1) set up an IDE to run your php script/file as you edit i.e. PSPad
w/appropriate compiler settings to execute PHP.

and

2) establish virtual host(s) in your host file and httpd.conf or
httpd-vhosts.conf. the vhost (ServerName) can be any name you like such
as "dev" or "dev1." If you really want to "make life so much simpler"
set DirectoryIndex to the name of your file, or simply name your file
index.php while testing. Then all you have to type into the browser is
"dev" (you don't even need the "http://" because the browser will assume
that for you.

However, like I said. Further details should be sought in Apache and
PSPad documentation.

BTW I stopped using wamp configurations on my Win boxes in favor of
individual installation of each component (Apache, PHP, MySql, etc.)
because it gave me greater control over my environment, and updates. It
requires a little more effort up front, but helps to insure you know
what's what, and pays off in many ways.
