Finding a few commands not working on Mavericks (10.9).

```
# Disable the sound effects on boot
sudo nvram SystemAudioVolume=" "
```

```
# Menu bar: show remaining battery time (on pre-10.8); hide percentage
defaults write com.apple.menuextra.battery ShowPercent -string "NO"
defaults write com.apple.menuextra.battery ShowTime -string "YES"
```

```
# Menu bar: hide the useless Menu bar icons (only battery and clock)
defaults write com.apple.systemuiserver menuExtras -array "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Battery.menu" "/System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/Clock.menu"
```

Only seems to work on certain folders, doesn't override globally

```
# Use column view in all Finder windows by default
# Four-letter codes for the other view modes: `icnv`, `clmv`, `Flwv`
defaults write com.apple.finder FXPreferredViewStyle -string "clmv"
```

This doesn't disable, even after quitting and restart finder. Still ending up with the file extension overlaid in icon view. http://d.pr/i/7lRn

```
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :DesktopViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :FK_StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :StandardViewSettings:IconViewSettings:showItemInfo false" ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
```

Strangely enough, I tried using `NO` instead of `false`, while I had the finder plist open, and it changed from `NO` back to `YES` on its own, right before my eyes. Odd.

I think that's it? Feel like I'm forgetting a couple of others.

Reproduce the listed commands on Mavericks, starting with the Finder defaults and the three PlistBuddy paths under ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Check which commands fail or revert after restarting Finder, then document the affected commands and their working behavior.
