In this small office I set up common resources/rooms as calendars in
public folders. Users are Authors by default.

When a User creates a meeting request in one of these calendars, and
another User opens the item, it gets automatically added to that User's
personal Calendar, even if they are not an invitee.

I realize this is probably expected behavior. I tried turning off
"Process requests and responses" but it still happens. Is there any way
of preventing this from happening, especially without impacting
meeting requests sent directly to a User?

I am using Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003, and implemented the
"Public folder (direct creation") method described on the page you
supplied. What is happening is User A books a meeting request directly
in the folder. User B, who is not an invitee, opens up this meeting
request (to see what why the room is unavailable for that timeslot), and
the meeting request automatically gets added to User B's calendar.
