I was cleaning up this Compaq Presario F700 Wind Vista Home Priemium

when I stumbled across a hidden .docx file. Not being familiar with that

extension I investigated a bit further... I googled the extension found

out that it is a extension designed to make an Office document into an

html file (with some format loss). Is that correct? Investigating

further I clicked on properties>security tab and ran across something

interesting. In the group or user names an unidentified account user

appears! 'Account Unknown(S-15-21-2817377724-365178722-714591354-1001)

"Account Unknown" means that the user account that was assigned security

settings for that file has been deleted. Just delete the entry.

 

It's always been a puzzle to me that Windows is unable to remove all

security settings like this when a user account is removed.....

 

BTW, "DOCX" is the file extent for Word 2007 native format files. I have

no idea where the idea that it is related to html came from...
