Finder-improvements in Leopard

[elppa]

Despite paying for 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4, I still don't have a Finder that opens windows in Column view every single time.

All I want is a Finder that opens windows in Column view, every time. Not most of the time. Not 99% of the time. Every f***ing time.

Don't get angry with me if you have already tried this - but doesn't "Open new windows in column view" from the Finder preferences achieve this?

I have no idea what this "Open new windows in column view" is, but I find it hard not have control what window I am using.

Option + tab is not good enough.
Dashboard is slow.

I need something like win xp (damn I hate win xp), where you have the opened windows down at the start menu. You can choose from there which windows to use.

Use Exposé then, that's what it's for. I'm not sure what Dashboard has to do with windows anyway?

I have this selected and it seems to work >90% of the time, but there are still many instances when a window opens in one of the other two views.

It's just that I would think making something like this work reliably would not be too difficult in an OS as mature as X is.
