Problem

  1. Directly after installing Drupal, uid 1 is greeted with an error message pointing to the Status report page, which says:

    Temporary files directory

    Not fully protected

    See http://drupal.org/SA-CORE-2013-003 for information about the recommended .htaccess file which should be added to the C:\Windows\Temp directory to help protect against arbitrary code execution.

    It's been a while since this was touched but a quick check of the relevant code suggests nothing much has probably changed.

    In the interim a new issue has been lodged and there is some activity there. Given this I think we can close this issue as a duplicate as while it is older there is more in train over on #2906490
