basically i think i unchecked a hide hidden files/system files whatever it was option in finder or somewhere on 10.5.6 OS X and now i'm getting these bloody annoying .DS_Store files on my desktop and in every folder.
simply put how do i get rid of them/hide them.
really annoying me now!
cheers
No idea how you managed that!
Two things:
1. Hide hidden files: in terminal: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
2. Prevent .ds_store creation over network drives: in terminal - defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Try those and see if it helps :)
You can just delete them though - they only contain icon positioning info, and background info etc
yeah but when i delete them they come back especially on the desktop its WELL annoying.i'll try those now cheers
nope didn't work
