System Wide Folder View Settings

Hey everyone, something that really bugs me, all random folders have different View Settings (CMD+J) is there anyway to change EVERY folder on Finder to have the same settings? thanks

Yes. Open Show View Options, change settings to what you want, click Use as Defaults button at the bottom.

Ok, then something is not right. Try this:

Follow this path to find this file
HD/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Move that file to the Desktop
Restart
This makes a new default plist file.

Now try to set those Defaults.
Does it stick now? If yes, delete the plist file from the Desktop.
