- Blue Harvest did not seem to stop them at first either but then I added the mounted disk as a folder within the DSStores tab and it works just fine. Probably the best thing is the prevention of those pesky little.whatever.xxx files, no more hunting them down, they're like weeds. I added all the common extensions which I use to the Resources tab.
- The creation of.DSStore files (and more so,.AppleDouble files which are not covered in this hint) is frequently the source of complaints against Mac users, who often leave a trail of these files scattered throughout the filesystem when 'visiting' a Windows computer. Even with this hint in place, the.DSStore files will continue to be.

In theory there are 3 sets of preference locations on a mac:
~/Library/Preferences
/Library/Preferences
/Network/Library/Preferences

The Pref system is supposed to use a known order of searching to find a pref, starting at the top of the list, working its way down (I don't know if the order I gave is the search order, btw). If none of the locations have the pref set, then a default, choosen by the app is used.
This would allow The same file to exist on all three locations, but allow an admin to set some network wide prefs in the /Network folder (not necessarily all the prefs either, just one key-value pair), somebody to set some prefs for the machine, and then the user to override the prefs for when they are logged in. Norton disk doctor portable.
I actually have never seen the /Network prefs used, but I've also never been in a managed macintosh network environment. Whether or not the network domain ever got implemented I don't know, and how the /Network/Library folder would even get created or accessed, I am unsure.
Just thought it would be interesting to see this pref get set in the /network domain, so each individual user in the company would not have to set it each time they got a new mac or re-installed the OS, etc.

Hello there osvaldogustavo,

I found an article that I think will be exactly what you need. Its called Mac OS X v10.4 and later: How to prevent .DS_Store file creation over network connections found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1629
To configure a Mac OS X user account so that .DS_Store files are not created when interacting with a remote file server using the Finder, follow the steps below:
Note: This will affect the user's interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.
- Open Terminal.
- Execute this command:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true - Either restart the computer or log out and back in to the user account.
If you want to prevent .DS_Store file creation for other users on the same computer, log in to each user account and perform the steps above—or distribute a copy of the newly modified com.apple.desktopservices.plist file to the~/Library/Preferences folder of other user accounts.

These steps do not prevent the Finder from creating .DS_Store files on the local volume, and these steps do not prevent previously existing .DS_Store files from being copied to the remote file server.
Disabling the creation of .DS_Store files on remote file servers can cause unexpected behavior in the Finder (clickhere for an example).
