To show or hide hidden files on Mac put this with a yes or no in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

You shouldn't see the .DS_Store file. It's supposed to be invisible. It stores metadata about contents of a folder. Are you using any of the utilities that make invisible files visible? [OnyX, TinkerTool, etc.; playing with the Terminal] If you are, those utilities can also create mischief in the Finder if you don't know exactly what they're supposed to be doing [RTFM]. Did you restore your HD recently?
