Skype blocks 80 & 443 and hence prevents XAMPP & WAMP

hey! friends,

From a couple of days, I was trying and installing XAMPP but was unable to start it. I was unable to figure out what is going wrong.

I thought may I had old XAMPP version installed, so I downloaded the latest version.
But installing the latest version doesn't help. Still I was unable to start.

Then I tried a bit googling and came up with the following command :
netstat -a -b

And I came to know that skype was using those two ports, I was shocked to see that and then I searched for how to prevent skype from using those ports and the result was found in just a couple of seconds (Google is great).

I'm attaching the screenshot, so that it may help others having the same problem.
