Mac OS X 10.4: How to prevent .DS_Store file creation over network connections
by Volker Weber
From the Apple knowledgebase:
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 the Terminal.
- Type:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
- Press Return.
- Restart the computer.
