And prevent ._ files on windows shares ?
Authored by: Vocal Velocity on Oct 11, '04 04:10:22PM

Under Macintosh OSX .DS_Store holds the information which controls the way a folder will be opened; i.e., the shape and size of the window, the position of the window on the desktop and whether file, folder or icon view has been selected. If you were to delete the .DS_Store the folder would revert to the system default next time it is opened and a new blank .DS_Store would appear (invisibly).
I wanted to post this here for a clear understanding what the .DS_Store file is and help everyone understand that it probably will not be going away anytime soon.
