    Is there some way to have finder remember the size and style of each window?

    For example, I'd like my pictures folder to view with the coverflow. But my documents, I'd like simply as a list.

    For a second example, my documents folder has a large amount of files and I like that window to be larger. My excel spreadsheets is a small folder, and I prefer that to be a small window.

    Any help? Thanks.

    I'm not sure about the second part but the first part can be done very easily. If you want to view your pics in Coverflow then set it to Coverflow view first or List view then go the menu bar and choose "View" then "Show View Options" and check the box at top to "always view in" Coverflow or List.

    There's no setting that I know of that will maintain the size of the window. Hopefully someone else can post a suggestion. :)
