Locking column view in Finder

Is there a way to lock the Column View format, column widths in Finder so they remain the same in all Finder windows, and remain after quitting Finder and opening up a new window?

24, Mac OS X (10.7)

Try holding the option key down while dragging the column to the width you want.

Best.

Thanks ... that worked partially for me ... it appears that all columns have to remain the same width unless you drag one column to adjust it (but doing that does not lock the width for that column for later).
