External disks open window after mounting since updating to 10.5.8

[Europe calling]

Since i've upgraded to 10.5.8, after booting my external disks all mount with an (annoying) open window. 😕 With earlier versions this never happened, just disk icons appeared on the desktop.
Anyone knows what causes this and how it can be resolved?

how very odd.. have you checked Finder->Preferences for anything?

Nothing has been altered in my finder prefs. Settings do not have the option to stop this weird behaviour.
I'm confused.

YES! as am i!!! i had a quick google and found nothing.. i have no solution!

have you tried closing the window before you eject, then ejecting it (instead of leaving the window open when you eject)

I don't eject the disks. I just shut down after the day (windows closed!)
But the next day when i start up, the windows all open again.

Is there any chance that in Startup Items (Prefs/Accounts) you asked for an external to be opened?

After 10.5.8 I noticed what you're describing, but it was for my NAS devices. As best I can remember, it didn't happen before. I probably ignored that it wasn't happening, because all I wanted was to make sure that the NAS unit appeared in Finder as quickly as possible.

I poked around in Finder looking for a fix, as you did, and could find nothing.

So I suggest checking your startup prefs, just in case.
