Essentially, that put an alias to the volume in the startupitems 
folder.  That alias was then *opened* by Finder - the same as a 
double-click action.  So it is intended and expected that it would 
open the window.

If you want the volume to mount on your desktop without opening the 
window, then you'll need to do just that -- actually mount the 
volume, not tell Finder mount and open it!  Do that with a shell or 
applescript that runs disk utility.
