Try this.
Create a new folder on the desktop. Open it. CMD J, check always open in list
view, change the font size, change the font size back, and click Use as
Defaults. Create two new folders, open one (should open in list view), click on
icon view toolbar button, CMD+J, select always open in icon view, close the
view options windoiw, and close the foider. Open the other new one (should also
open in list view), click on column view toolbar button, CMD+J, select always
open in column view (that's the missing pre-Leopard Finder option), close the
view options windoiw, and close the foider. Now, open all three folders and
they should retain those settings-one in list view, one in icon view, and one
in column view.
