Does anyone know what causes the User's home directory to open in Finder
on a first login? I thought it was tied to the WindowState key in
com.apple.finder.plist but now I don't think thats it. Basically I'm
trying to avoid having this open up the first time a user logs in.

Thanks.

    Thanks. I tried managing the WindowState key in com.apple.finder.plist
    via workgroup manager and it does appear to be working.

    Nope, I don't but I do know that by default any new finder window that you open up will default the home directory. Perhaps at first time log in it is just the OS opening up a Finder window???

    That is my guess.

    i believe it is the windowstate key in the finder plist. the finder plist we deploy to our managed accounts and the user template looks like this

    <key>WindowState</key>
    <array/>

    and we no longer have the users home folder open up on first login.
