Clean out .DS STORE

Asked by Maxwellb in Apple Operating Systems, Apple, Appletalk

Tags: store, ds

Hello,

We have a mixed Mac and PC network based on Server 2003 and whenever the mac's browse the network they leave a trail of .DS STORE files. From what I have heard, there is no way to stop the finder from doing this. When I was doing research on Mac / Windows integration - ADMit Mac was able to get around this by using a separate interface for browsing the network. Are there standalone applications like this? I am not interested in replacing the finder. I ended up just using the built in integration in OS X. Is there any application like that part of ADMit that allows browsing of the network without leaving behind .ds stores? If I ended up buying licenses for ADMit Mac, would I be able to transfer over all the Mac's that are currently using the built in components without having to un bind them and re bind them with ADMit Mac? Another option, has anyone made, or is it possible to have a script run on the file server that automatically deletes these files? I am aware of AppleOff (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18885), but I was looking for a windows based solution.

Thank You for Your time,
