How can I prevent MacOSX from writing its Mac specific files on a USB stick?
The Challenge:
1) We need to import a text file on the USB stick to Excel on the MacOSX.
2) The instrument that collects the data rejects the USB stick if any other file is on the stick.
3) The instrument ejects the USB after we have used it once on the Mac.

There is a major thread on this from few weeks ago - the bottom line is that you can turn it off on network shares, but that a bug in the finder creates these whether or not you make any preference changes, and there is no way to stop them being created. FinderCleaner will remove them.
