In Mac OS X Mavericks, I find that when I bring up a finder window showing items in a list with columns, the Name column defaults to being way to wide, I have to scroll to the right to grab column edge and slide it left to see the other columns at the same time as the name such as the date of modification.
How can I get the Finder to provide a more reasonable default column width for all folders? The solution given by shub appears to only apply to a single folder and would require each new folder navigated to to be set again.

Note: This will, obviously, only work on 'column' view in Finder :)
