"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...
