Is the question how to make Finder windows remember their view
settings (i.e., size, location, toolbar visibility, view type, etc.)?
If so, the key is to open the window, set it up the way you want,
then close it--without clicking on any folders or icons within the
window. That's how you set the "default" window settings. After that,
any new Finder window you open will have that same view. After a new
window is open, additional windows will be slightly offset down and
to the right, but the size and other settings will remain the same.

I tried it here and it worked well.

I'm not sure that my friend Emile Schwartz is on line at this time
so I will respond "for him".
The problem is that when he set an object's position as he wrote,
the object doesn't remain where he put it.
It is a well known oddity.
I met it and I am now using a workaround found on an other forum
(at least if I remember well).
The tip is to switch the toolbar visibility.
tell container window
set ao to class is Finder window
open
set current view to icon view
set properties of its icon view options to ¬
{arrangement:arranged by name, icon size:128}
set bounds to b
set toolbar visible to toolbar
set toolbar visible to not toolbar
set toolbar visible to toolbar
if not ao then close
end tell -- to container window
In this sample, the variable toolbar is set by the caller as true
or false according to the wanted aspect.
