Running Joomla for the first time

You're almost done with the configuration and as excited about running Joomla as I was and then you see -

You immediately Google and you reach here; or may be not, you found a link to this page. :)
Well here's what you do next.

1. Open file php.ini (C:\xampp\php\php.ini). I hope you know your location path? Or find out.
2. Search for term error_reporting = replace it with error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED
3. Search term display_errors = On and replace it with display_errors = Off
4. Stop XAMPP and restart it
5. Run Joomla in your browser. Congratulations!
