[QUOTE="eric, post: 733126, member: 22327"] you could add a leading dot, but then windows won't recognize them and will recreate new ones if you connect that drive to a windows pc again. do you often switch back and forth between mac and windows with this external? your best bet is just to delete them as you see them. you're also likely to see the hidden OS X files on the windows machine, such as ".DS_Store", these can also be deleted.
