Hi,

if you want to make .htaccess and wp-config files secure so here are some articles

codemovement, thanks for the links, I’m sure someone will find them useful, but maybe not the OP who was asking about windows server

Also thanks for going back through unanswered questions!

jith3003, maybe this will be helpful, though I should hope you’ve figured it out by now:
