Also, if it's a network volume that disallows those .DS_Store files  
(as I've set on our Samba shares..my boss once came to me really  
worried, thinking that all our servers had been compromised with these  
invisible files all over...I"m the only Mac user in our office) this  
is the default state of newly opened network volumes.

My suggestion (which just came to me) is to write a small Applescript  
closing all finder windows that runs after your volume mounts in your  
startup items.

I'm really rusty in AS, but I'll look into it...this is something that  
annoys me, too.
