Ok, the million dollar question. I have searched the ends of the earth to see if there is a way to hide files between pc and mac OS. If I hide the files in a windows os, I can see the files in Find in the mac os and vise versa. Other than writing a java script does anyone know of a code to stop this action. Of course I know I am reaching here and TFP is my last stop.

I undestand using droplets to rename the files in Mac is one way of hiding files, but IE in Windows OS, shows these files as if they were never hidden.

If I write the java script in the Mac platform, to toggle the "true" and "false" for hide, thats ok, but again, in windows, it does not recognize the script.

THE MAIN QUESTION: Can anyone think of a way to add script content to be recognized and obeyed by both platforms.
