MacOS creating ICON file visible in Windows

[Anthony Sbarro]

For the Windows software I'm using, this is creating a problem. There's always this Icon file in each folder that I have to go and delete (from more than a dozen folders) before my software will properly save the project.

Are you trying to disable desktop sharing between Mac and Windows?

Are you trying to disable desktop sharing between Mac and Windows?

I don't want to disable desktop / file sharing. I often move files back and forth between Mac and PC.

Please clarify what app are you using? I mean your software for your projects.

What software I'm using is irrelevant. Any file I move from Mac to Windows has this icon file in it. The software I'm using is from Crestron. When I compile a project it sees these icon files and gives me an error that the project can not be compiled - I'm guessing because it doesn't know what to do with the icon files.

Still looking for a way to eliminate the ICON files from folders when moving from Mac to Windows. I seem to recall this being a known issue many years ago that was resolved either with a software update or as a check box option to avoid the issue.
