is there a setting somewhere that will enable me to hide the sidebar and keep the toolbar in all finder windows by default?

In addition to moving/dragging the vertical divider all the way to the left (the one with the "dot" on it just to the right of the Sidebar, you can turn off viewing the Sidebar: option+cmd+T. ...or click that little oblong button in the top right corner of the window and you'll get rid of the window's Sidebar � and the window's borders � as well as the Sidebar.

all these methods only do one folder at a time. I'm trying to find a method that will set a default behavior for ALL finder windows. ie. when i open a folder i have never opened before(recently mounted filesystems), the sidebar is not visible.
or click that little oblong button in the top right corner of the window
that also kills the toolbar, which i actually use.
thank you for your time.

Double-click the knob on the vertical divider between the sidebar and the icon view. Then close the button by clicking the Close button. (Do not use Command-W, or anything else.)

Will that make it so all finder windows will by default open that way?

yes, i've been trying to find out how to do this for the longest time.
also, sorry to piggyback on this thread, but how do u set the default view of the files in finder to "List"?
i can set it to either the split screen or the icons view, but not the list.

Actually, I'd be happy with being able to have the toolbar and sidebar hidden by default. Just the "simple" window that you get by pressing the oval button (does it have a name?). Anyone know how to do that? And yeah, list view by default would be great.
Also, sometimes windows that I configure to my liking stay that way, and sometimes they revert to default (sidebar, toolbar, icon view). I haven't figured out the pattern yet, except for a few windows (Computer, iDisk) that never remember a configuration. Anyone know what's going on with this?
