OSX: a way to prevent mounted drive from opening finder window

[PatboyX]

i was just wondering if anyone knew if it was possible in os x (.3 and .4) to prevent a finder window from automatically opening for exploration when a server mounts at boot.

i was also wondering if this question made sense to folks.
thanks for any help.

The question makes sense, but I don't know the answer.

yeah, i seem to be seeing that a lot.
not too many mac sites seem to have a clue on it, either.
its almost like a turn off autoplay in windows...but cant quite get it.
eh.

The only thing I could find was this...

"To make a long story short, there is no autoplay setting in OS X. I was remembering it from OS 9 - but OS 9's autoplay settings do affect CD-ROMs with Carbon autoplay applications on them - talk about confusing! To disable this irritation, launch any Classic application and then in the Classic Apple Menu select the "QuickTime Settings" control panel. In there, select "Autoplay" and uncheck the option to autoplay CD-ROMs. That will stop those pesky auto-launch applications from running."

Maybe there's something equivalent for what you need?

EDIT: or from farther down on that page:
"Open the System Preferences application, and choose "CDs & DVDs." For any of the described actions (such as "When you insert a picture CD:"), choose "Ignore" from the pop-up menu to the right. That particular auto-launch action is then disabled."
