Not sure how it was set, but from the Terminal, you can use defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool false to just use the name - you may also need to restart the Finder.

| Jun 21, 2020 at 15:40 | comment | added | red_menace | That just looks like you have the defaults set to show the POSIX path in the Finder window. | |

| Jun 21, 2020 at 2:55 | comment | added | Natsfan | I have no idea. i noticed it when I made that image. Don't remember moving it there. Should I move it back to /private/etc ? | |

BTW What is the sudoers file doing in the root of the Macintosh HD when it belongs in /private/etc?

| Jun 21, 2020 at 2:48 | comment | added | Natsfan | yea the smart status of my internal fusion drive is Failed but my computer is still crunching. I'm not sure exactly what Failed means exactly. Did it fail on one write attempt or Failed a number of times in a row. My iMac is very slow. Unless the Apple meeting Monday is a big disappointment, I expect new iMacs to be announced - ending some of these maddening problems. | |

Considering the various issues you've been having lately I'm starting to think your system is pretty messed up! Anyway, if I run the two Finder lines of code shown, they produce the expected results, assuming defaults are in play, and open the Macintosh HD and return 1 as expected. Even from Terminal, open / opens to the Macintosh HD at the top center of the Finder window.
