Here you go, this will delete all DS_Store files from a Mac:

Is there a good solution to deleting every .DS_Store file on the Mac so that the setting will be universally accepted in all folders? Could use Spotlight maybe or?

I don’t want that all the windows open with the same view style. I want that any window open with the style I want for it.
I want that by default the windows open with one style.
But that some windows open with another style that I have chosen.
Example:
- default is column view
- but folders with images is Icon view with big icons
- folder with music is list view
- etc.

I have never found a way to do this correctly. If I set a folder to open as Icon view, all the folders that I will open then will open in Icon view…

You should have a section called Scripting for this kind of entry since this tip is quite useless while working with the Finder and enabling/expanding View Option is only one click away.

Set the style, Command+J, “Always open with view”

Should be the same effect.
