Now Go to your wamp installation directorie's www folder and then go inside to the joomla folder and then delete or Rename the installation folder if not you won't be able to access to your site's admin panel.

Fist see did your wamp server is in online mode. You can find it by placing your mouse on the task bar icon. If yes then click on it and then click "Start All Services "

Then Try localhost again

Extract Joomla to your Desktop and then Rename it to Joomla.

delete www folders contents except index.php.
then copy your Joomla folder to it. Then Try localhost again. If these all worked well you would see Joomla link in localhost.
When coping copy Whole Joomla Folder. Not it's Sub folders

By the Way I don't know much about wamp server. Neo Taughtme to use it
