.idlerc permissions are slightly different for Account Unknown.
"Account Unknown" refers to a user account that has been deleted
(or, via some other system corruption, is no longer associated with a
login name -- happened to me earlier this year: my user account "name"
had been "Wulfraed" but the user account directory was under "Dennis Lee
Bieber"... When the registry crashed it disconnected name "Wulfraed"
from directory "Dennis Lee Bieber"... Lost a month of email once I got
done creating a new user account where directory and name matched and
restored from backup [I failed to back-up the old user directory before
trying a remove/create user]).
My suggestion would be, first, remove privileges for that remnant
account where-ever found; check higher directory levels too, and try to
propagate the privilege downwards.
Second -- could the file itself be set for read-only on the simple
properties? I just tested with Win7 -- setting the general "read-only"
did not make any changes to any of the security tab "users". Third,
confirm the owner of the file is your current user account; if not,see
if you can get "take ownership" option for the file to work.
I wonder if removing the "Account Unknown" account might just do it. Not
quite familiar with Owner, but I'll look around.
I'll check the file for "read only".
