_tmp files in windows environment

Question

Hi
I am having some problem with these ._tmp.jpg files that my mac generates while i am working in Photoshop with JPG files. Mac saves another small temp file when i save it to the network /windows/
i have to run a batch on windows platform, but the batch always stops becouse of these system files.
unfortunately the batch app; is written for win only so i have to find a way to remove these temp files.
can i tell my mac somehow not to create these files on the network?
PS
i know i can get rid of the DC_store files by typing:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
maybe there is a similar command line for the temp files???

Here is a script that will monitor a given directory for "._" and delete those during its next pass (every 10 seconds):
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & _
strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colMonitoredEvents = objWMIService.ExecNotificationQuery _
("SELECT * FROM __InstanceCreationEvent WITHIN 10 WHERE " _
& "Targetinstance ISA 'CIM_DirectoryContainsFile' and " _
& "TargetInstance.GroupComponent= " _
& "'Win32_Directory.Name=""C:\\\\Temp""'")
Do
Set objLatestEvent = colMonitoredEvents.NextEvent
strReturned = objLatestEvent.TargetInstance.PartComponent
strFilePath = Split(strReturned, "CIM_DataFile.Name=")(1)
strFilePath = Replace(strFilePath, """", "")
strFilePath = Replace(strFilePath, "\\", "\")
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(strFilePath)
WScript.Echo objFile.Name
Set File = objFile
DeleteFiles(File)
Loop
Sub DeleteFiles(File)
wscript.echo "Deleting file " & File
If InStr(File, "._") Then
objFile.Delete
End If
End Sub
