A fix for an issue with new Finder window positions

Recently I've been having problem when opening a new Finder window. (Command-N when in Finder). The problem was that the new window was positioned slightly off screen, for every new window, no matter what I did to try and reconfigure this.

Now I just found out that if I open a new window, position it where I want it to be, and then hide and show the toolbar of the window (Command-Option-T), the Finder will now remember this position as the one to use for every new window.

[robg adds: Typically, just opening a new window, then doing nothing with it other than setting its kind, position, and size, and then closing the window, should save the new data as the 'default.' But if it doesn't, perhaps this trick will help.]
