Mapped drive - Finder window

[SnapperNZ]

Is there any way to suppress the Finder window that pops up after connecting to a network drive?

I have 4 shared folders I connect to on a NAS and a Windows PC.

So you can imagine, at logon, I get 4 Finder windows popup after the 4 have been mapped.

I'd really like to be able to suppress those Finder windows - anyone got any ideas?

I should add - currently they're mapped via Login Items in my account, but I do have an apple script which can perform the same mappings - so if it's a case of adding some syntax to the apple script to suppress the Finder window - that's not a problem.

Easy! Why didn't I google FIRST!

tell application "Finder"
close every window
end tell

Job done 🙂

Also - this may be handy to people.

I've got the 4 drive mappings... (example below)

tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://nas/share1
end tell
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://nas/share2
end tell
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://nas/share3
end tell
tell application "Finder"
open location "smb://nas/share4
end tell

So I've added this:

delay 7
tell application "Finder"
close every window
end tell

The delay is to allow time for all the mappings to complete - 7 seconds seems long but sometimes the NAS powers down for power saving - so 7 seconds is good for me.

Hope this might help someone!
