Mac hidden files that are ruining windows copying

The Mac OS (OSX) makes invisible files that cause problems when
sharing a PC with PC users.

Often the PC users can?t copy over Mac folders.  Below are some of
these file that are the culprits in this copy problem.


Is there a utility out there that will copy over folders from a Mac
server or a windows server that Mac's leaves files on, while ignoring
these windows illegal files?

If not, is there a until that I can run on these folders to deleted
these unwanted files to the folders will copy using explorer?

thanx in advnce

 Mac hidden files that are ruining windows copying?
 
These fall into 3 areas:
 
1. The ?`icon? file.
These seem to be there even when there are no custom icons
The icons stop the copy. Just shut in down midway.?
They seem to be created when an OS9 used control clicks on a file (any
contextual menu invocation) on a folder.  That is what we think
anyway.
 
2. The .DS_Store file
They file seems to copy, but we would rather windows just skip them.
 
3. The desktop_DB and desktop_db:
If you are coping a volume. It will stop you.
 
I think on OSX, there maybe be potentially a lot of file that begin
with a dot that would get copied over.
