Hi there,

Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but I can't find the answer and am pulling my hair out.

I'm using Mac OS X Server (10.0.4) on a small network with 3 Windows machines and 3 Macs (2 OS 9; 1 OS X). When a Mac OS 9 user uploads a folder or document to the server (say, into the Public shared folder), the OS X and Windows users end up seeing the hidden files and folders that OS 9 inserts there: TheVolumeSettingsFolder and TheFindByContentFolder for Windows and DesktopFolderDB and resource.frk for OS X.

Is there any way to avoid seeing these hidden files? They are annoying and confusing to the Windows clients. Thanks in advance for your help!
