Prevent OS X from creating new .DS_Store files when opening folders on remote volumes mounted using SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV.
These files is often the source of complaints against Mac users, who leave a trail of these files scattered throughout the filesystem when "visiting" a Windows share.
When this hack in place the .DS_Store files will continue to be created on local volumes (which is a good thing).

Does anyone know if it's possible to prevent a user from opening a file over a network? Allowing them to Read and Write is fine, just not open across the network...
Alternatively, you could just follow the instructions on Apple's own homepage, which does the same thing: "Mac OS X 10.4: How to prevent .DS_Store file creation over network connections" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711).

I don't think it's a good thing, I think it's very annoying, and it generates unnecessary clutter.
