I have some shares that are mounted during login. I used Users & Groups' "Login Items" panel to do this. When I login, all of the shares pop up in their own Finder windows.
How can I keep the Finder windows from popping up at login? I've already tried checking the Hide checkbox.

Here are two very simple solutions made possible by automation tools baked right in Mac OS X, AppleScript and Automator.

Open AppleScript Editor and put in this script:
Adapt it to your need (configure your shares).
It may ask your password the first time, but you can save it in Keychain and won't bother you anymore.
Of course, you can mount multiple disk by adding some additional
mount volume
lines.Automator
If you prefer a visual interface, you can use Automator as well.
Here's a screenshot of the process:
