Assigning to Helen and addressing for 1.9.5. I really don't know about how to fix this (I suppose it's a matter of changing the permissions of those files under Windows to be read-only). But agree it's interesting to explain how to do that. Not sure where (inline texts in the report or Moodle Docs). For your research and consideration. Ciao

I think we should design a way to link docs from this report. Any ideas?

Andrea, thanks for your report, and Petr, thanks for the link.

See http://docs.moodle.org/en/report/security/report_security_check_configrw

Please amend / add to as necessary. (I couldn't find much info about it, probably because I wasn't sure what to google for!)
