Save Finder window size

Hi guys,

I know this question might sound stupid at first, but I am a new Mac user (coming from Windows) and I couldn't find how to do that. How do I save Finder window size so, everytime I open it, it will be this size. Preferably, I would like to make it to a certain size so that if I have to resize it on one session, that resize won't be saved (that is, next time I open Finder it will have the size I had set up restored).

Is it possible?

Thank you in advance.

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

There appears to be a simple solution to this which I have found - if you hold down the 'alt' key whilst resizing and repositioning, the Mac seems to remember this when opening next time around 🙂

This doesn't work, or its intermittent at best.

I have the same thing, so I think they are supposed to be there.
