The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Clean out .DS STORE

Asked by Maxwellb in Apple Operating Systems, Appletalk, Apple

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,
Max
