.DS_STORE: Avoiding broadcast on network







When using Mac and you share data with IBM-PC and you send each file with hidden file, DS_Store can become irritating.

Here, we will show you how to create these files on the networks:


Launch the Terminal (in Applications / Utilities)
Type the following command:

"Defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true"
Confirm and restart your computer.

To retrieve this setting, retype the command, replacing "true" by "false".
As the first command creates the file name "com.apple.desktopservices.plist" in the Preferences folder of your directory, you can edit with Property List Editor and change the value.

You run the command after you logged in for each account if you wish that every user of the computer to use this.
You can also copy your com.apple.desktopservices.plist in each directory / Preferences for each account.
