I also do not know where the files are for boxes and the design and layout.
Thank you,

oh dearie the joy of php and oscommerce. It was madness for me too. You might want to get an answer from a techie at I swear someone will know. I haven’t touched php in over a year now and would need to sit in front of your comp to remember.
To access the files that you mentioned you would need to login either via FTP or through the hosting control panel provided by your host. If you do not know how to access these I am sure that your webhost can provide the needed information. Once you have access to the files you will find them in the path that you mentioned.
Box files are located in catalog/includes/boxes. To modify the look and layout of boxes you could make basic changes by modifying the stylesheet.css file located at catalog/stylesheet.css. More involved changes would require editing the PHP code within each box file or even editing the box class.
The design and layout can be modified by editing the CSS file mentioned above and editing the code for each page that you would like the look changed on.
Modifying the overall look and layout on an oscommerce site can be time consuming and frustrating. Luckily there are a few contributions that can be of great help. They are as follows:
Simple Template System (STS)
Basic Template Structure (BTS)
STS is easier to use, but BTS offers greater customization. Using either of these will be easier than editing each individual page that you would like the look changed for. You will also find that since both of these contributions are extremely popular there are updates available quite often.
I have tried to be as non-technical as I can, but it is difficult to do with some topics. If you need additional assistance the forums at oscommerce.com are an excellent resource for any skill level.
Hope this helps.
