Open a folder on startup

Asked by Olive Branch

I would like to know if their is way to open a folder on startup?

I have two folders on a external hard drive that I would like to have automatically open when the I login?

The drives mount perfectly but I would like to have the folders open WITHOUT having to right clicking and the press open.

I would like this process to happen automatically....

Is it possible?

The startup command to open a folder whose absolute path is FOLDER is:

nautilus FOLDER

If you need a more detailed description of what to do, that accounts for the Unity interface in Natty, then please let me know (I just don't have access to a machine running Unity at the moment).
