connecting to iDisk without automatically opening window

Hi-
I've decided I use my iDisk public folder often enough that I want to have it always available on my desktop. It is password protected, and I can connect to it easily enough with Go->iDisk->Other User's Public Folder and store the login info in my keychain to autoconnect. I can then put the server icon in my login items folder, and presto, it autoconnects on login. My question is:

Is it possible for it to connect, so that it is immediately available and logged in, but NOT open its window automatically after connection? I tried ticking off the "Hide" button in Login Items, but that doesn't work (I didn't think it would, but it was worth a shot 🙂

While I'm here, is there anyway to change the name of the server icon as it displays on my Desktop? Right now it is called <username>-Public, and I just want it to be called Public. Once--and only once-- it actually mounted as "Public", I'm not sure why. I've discovered it is possible to plaster a custom icon on the server icon, so I was hopeful I could somehow assign a custom name as well.

Thanks,
David
