After installing OSCommerce on a Windows hosting account, you see this warning on screen:

Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /shop/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file.

In reality this file is not writable as long as there are no write permission set. To get rid of this warning go to includes/application_top.php and look for:

define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'true');
change it into:
define('WARN_CONFIG_WRITEABLE', 'false');
