After restarting my computer, I can resize and position a Finder window, close it, then reopen it and it will appear as I set it up. If I restart my computer, the first Finder window I open will be back to a default size and position. Is there a way to set a Finder window's size and position permanently?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
If there's a way, I'd love to know, too. But I take it there's not, since no one has responded.
Whenever I open Finder (clicking on the icon in the dock) after relaunch or reboot, the window is tiny. It never remembers the size I had been using. I have to resize it, including the column widths and sidebar width, every single time. VERY annoying. This never happened pre-Mavericks. Previously, Finder kept these preferences, and used them every time you opened a new window, even after relaunch/reboot.
I tried a solution someone posted in another thread (deleting finder plist, etc.), but it didn't work. Perhaps it works with previous OS versions, but not Mavericks.
I strongly suggest everyone who is annoyed with this to submit feedback to Apple:

Hopefully if enough of us complain, they'll finally fix this bug.
This still happens in Yosemite, latest version. Every restart or reboot, the Finder window defaults to center of screen and the same size as default. No matter what you do to change it, it just pops back to default on reboot.
Finder window size is not remembered after restart
