I wish to configure Finder.app so that the default window size is larger then the default. If I resize a window that displays a folder, next time I open that folder with Finder, the window size would be the one that I used the last time I viewed that folder with Finder. This setting seems to be kept in the hidden .DS_Store file in each directory I view.
I wish I could modify Finder's initial window size without opening each possible folder. Where is this setting kept?
I use Mac OS X 10.6.x (Cocoa Finder.app, if that is an issue).
Thanks,

The only "real" answer to this issue that I have seen is to click on the Finder in the dock. When the window opens, immediately resize that window and close it. Don't move files, etc, simply close the window. Now each opened window will reflect the same size as the original. By all means, this is a 'hack' and it isn't something permanent. If you open your Finder windows via command + n do the same as above to set the size.
