I set up a Finder window to exactly the way i want ALL windows i open to be displayed. This includes, size, icons in toolbar, column widths etc.

Is there such a utility?

I tould be cool if i could set up custom view settings for each of the view modes. That is a template custom setting for Icon View, List View and Column View. Then later i could tell the app to change ALL the current windows (of this disk) set to Icon view to use the Custom Icon View settings of the Template. The same for the Other view's

In Addition, i want to know if there is a utility where by i can set up a template window as a custom view then apply these view settings to EVERY window system wide on my Mac?

This makes no sense whatsoever to me.

I don't know if this is the type of utility you are looking for, but it's called "Finder Window Manager".

I would just like to be able to tell the system to open all windows in column view, period, end of story! I occasionally have windows open randomly as icons, and it's annoying.
