I don't know if it's possible to force the root folder to open in a custom

window but CDs don't. If you figure out how to do it let us know how.

I would expect the Finder to respect the view settings in the disc's .DS_Store folder. (Doesn't it?)


It is possible to have a folder auto-open in Finder when a volume is mounted, but I only know the low-level details, not what to tell you do to, to actually make it happen. It's part of the long-standing "open folder chain" mechanism, where one of the volume's Finder Info fields is the dir ID of a folder to auto-open (such as fsRtDirID (2) for the disc itself).

Cheers,
