I have a bunch of Icon files showing in my Finder. I believe these are supposed to be hidden, I think it may be related to a terminal command I ran across my file system for another issue but now I have this side-effect.

How can I ensure all existing and future "Icon" files are hidden?

You probably ran this command at some point to show all hidden files in Finder

 defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE; killall Finder

So to undo this, simply run this command

 defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE; killall Finder

Note that the restart of Finder using killall is required to affect this change since the value is only read during Finder's startup.
