installed WAMP, but I had IIS7 already installed. Help

Hi Gurus,
While I've got 15 years of front-end development, my backend skills are a little low. Please be specific, yet gentle, with me on any suggestions or solutions... mainly because my parents were related before they got married and, as a result, I have a lot of coping issues
I installed IIS7 over a year and never used it. I'm taking a Lynda.com course on php and it recommended I install WAMP since I'm using a PC. I had forgetten about IIS7 and did not uninstall prior to the WAMP install.
The install went fine- at least to my inexperienced eyes.
However, when I typed http://localhost/ in my Firefox Browser, I got the IIS7 home page, instead of the "Your website here" php page I was looking for.
So:
Do I uninstall IIS7? Both? then reinstall WAMP?
Or is there someway to fix localhost to show my php pages, and not the IIS stuff?
Again, please dumb it down for me!
Thanks in advance!
