Hi everybody,

This is my first post, I've been using macs for at least 3 years now and wouldn't class myself as clueless BUT I do have a question...

When I insert a hard drive or memory stick into my macbook, it always mounts on the desktop. That is quite useful but I'd also like it to pop up in finder, or with options to open the files on the drive (like windows does).

Are there any options in Snow Leopard or any other pieces of software that do this?

Every HDD or other external storage device shows up in the Finder Sidebar, but as far as I know, there is no "annoying" pop up to ask you what you want to do.
