When logged in from a Windows machine, I noticed the detritus that OS X litters volumes with. Is there a good way to prevent, or keep that under control?

From 10.4-10.10 a simple Terminal command would reduce the litter. I've heard that it no longer works in El Cap.

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool true
