pc filesharing artifacts

hi all
I have a small network at home and am using the pc filesharing feature in macos x 10.1 and it works fine. I notice, however, that when I open the pc sharepoint on the mac, the mac creates the following artifacts:
directory called .Trashes
file called ._.Trashes
file called .DS_Store

these are all invisible on the mac end and only visible on the pc end.
Is there a way to get the mac to stop doing this?

ah ha eureka!

I hope I have your name correct

I found a solution:
by running this script once and only once I have fixed the problem. I tested it by click opening the mounted pc share on the mac end and also on the pc end:

#!/bin/sh
if ls pcshare
then
echo "its here"
rm -R /Volumes/pcshare/.Trashes
rm /Volumes/pcshare/'._.Trashes'
rm /Volumes/pcshare/'.DS_Store'
fi
