If the files are problem from file sharing with a Windows machine, you 
can go to My Computer - > Tools -> Folder options I think and then go 
to the last tab to select "hide system files" or "known file types". I 
can't remember just now.

I often do a search (right click on Start menu, click on "Search") for 
.DS_Store and WinXP remembers that search every subsequent time I go in 
there so that I only have to type a period, and the rest pops up and I 
just have to hit enter. Then from the search results, I click the first 
one and do a Control+A to highlight all, and then hit the delete key to 
get rid of them.

In OS 10.3, they're automatically hidden, but I'm guessing you know 
that already.

regards,
Darcy
