Make the Finder remember your window prefs

Saw this one somewhere today, and it's a good one. The Finder doesn't seem to remember that I prefer column view with about seven columns showing. I set my window that way, navigate around, close it, open a new one, and I get icon view again ... a little frustrating! Turns out there is a way to get it to remember the settings.

Close all your finder windows, open a new window, set it the way you like it (column view, icon view, width, height, whatever). Now close that window before you do anything in it. From now on, all your new Finder windows will open with those characteristics. I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature, as it sometimes seems inconsistent about remembering.
