I could not change nor delete (unknown). Cosmetic or not, I wanted this gone. I have checked these forums, blogs, and other help sites for months and found nothing that worked for me - no Terminal commands, nothing.<BR/>Until today. And I happened on this fix totally by accident. Even now, I have 9 tabs open looking for a solution. In the Sharing & Permissions pane, the user "Everyone" had Read Only permission. I changed that to No Access and *(unknown) disappeared!*<BR/>I hope this works for you.<BR/>bz<BR/>PS - I posted this in the Apple Discussion thread where you linked to this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
