How to make column view default?

This has been bugging me for a long time, but it's such a little thing that I've never bothered to investigate before.
I am about to give my old G4 Powerbook to my father who is still using OS9, so the change to OSX will be quite an adjustment for him. He has always had trouble dealing with folders and the hierarchy so when I set the machine up for him, I want things to be as consistent as possible and I think that using column view in Finder windows will help him to see where exactly his documents are stored.
Here is where the problem lies. Whenever I create a new folder and open it's window, I am presented with icon view even though I have "Open new windows in column view" selected in my finder prefs.
How the heck do I get all windows to always open in column view?? This seems so basic I'm embarrassed to even be asking the question!
Thanks in advance
Marion

I tried the above, and it worked in Leopard but not in Tiger. In fact in Leopard it doesn't have to be the root HD - if you open any folder, set its view the way you want and then close it, that sets up a "global" view style. All subsequently opened folders will have that same global view unless you override it, which you can do for an individual folder by checking the "Always open in XXX view" box in the View Options for that particular folder.
I don't think there is a way to set up such a "global default" view directly in Tiger. I think that the general Finder preference for "Open new windows in column view" doesn't mean "all" windows - it means just the "new" window that is generated by command-N (or Finder>File menu>New Finder Window).
I found an interesting post that describes using Automator in Tiger to go through every existing folder in the home directory, setting each folder's window to column view - see:
*10.4- Change all Finder folders to identical views - Mac OS X Hints*

I don't know how well this works or how long it takes.

Hi my name is vishal
For past 10 days i have been breaking my head on how to make column headers in table appear bold while datas in table appear regular from c# windows forms with sql server2008 using iTextSharp.
Given below is my code in c# on how i export datas from different tables in sql server to PDF report using iTextSharp:

Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("AssignedDialyzer.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(6);
table.TotalWidth =530f;
table.LockedWidth = true;

table.AddCell("Verification");
table.AddCell("DialyzerID");
while (dr.Read())
table.AddCell(dr[2].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[3].ToString() +"_"+ dr[4].ToString());
table.AddCell(dr[5].ToString() + "-" + dr[6].ToString());

else if (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to save changes to AssignedDialyzer.pdf before closing?", "DRRS", MessageBoxButtons.YesNoCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation) == DialogResult.No)
this.Close();
The above code executes well with no problem at all!
As you can see the file to which i create and save and open my pdf report is
AssignedDialyzer.pdf.
The column headers of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp are
"Reprocessing Date","Patient Name","Dialyzer(Manufacturer,Size)","No.of Reuse","Verification" and
"DialyzerID".
However the problem i am facing is after execution and opening of document is my
column headers in table in pdf report from
c# and datas in it all appear in bold.
I have browsed through net regarding to solve this problem but with no success.
What i want is my pdf report from c# should be similar to following format which i was able to accomplish in vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp.:
Given below is report which i have achieved from vb6,adodb with MS access using iTextSharp
I know that there has to be another way to solve my problem.I have browsed many articles in net regarding exporting sql datas to above format but with no success!
Is there is any another way to solve to my problem on exporting sql datas from c# windows forms using iTextSharp to above format given in the picture/image above?!
If so Then Can anyone tell me what modifications must i do in my c# code given above so that my pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp will look similar to image/picture(pdf report) which i was able to accomplish from
vb6,adodb with ms access using iTextSharp?
I have approached Sound Forge.Net for help but with no success.
I hope anyone/someone truly understands what i am trying to ask!
I know i have to do lot of modifications in my c# code to achieve this level of perfection but i dont know how to do it.
Can anyone help me please! Any help/guidance in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I hope i get a reply in terms of solving this problem.

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

How to make list view the default in finder?

Is there a way to make "List view" be the default view for all folders opened?
I know that with a window open, you can hit CMD-1, 2, 3 or 4 for icon, list, column, or cover view, but I want "list view" to be the default.
I know that in some windows I can set the list view the way I want it and then close the folder, knowing the next time it opens, it will remember it, but that doesn't seem to work for encrypted sparse-bundle drives. They ALWAYS come up in icon view, regardless of the previous view it was in.
So hopefully, setting the overall default will help me solve this problem.
TIA for any advice/tips!
Steve

I could swear that I've done this before, in exactly this way, and it worked fine on my internal HD, but not on my encrypted sparse-bundles. But now it's working.
Sorry to have created chaff in the group. I should have tried again just before I posted....

How to make it a default for all received messages to not preview the attachment but instead show the icon? (mac mail.app)

Hi
I am having trouble with large incoming mail attachments.
When I receive a large attachment (pDf) the useful mail preview feature attempts to show a preview of the attachment. Unfortunately this is causing a lot of trouble as some PDFs are extremely large and therefore take time to open/preview. If I right click the attachment and select view as icon, the problem with that specific message ceases as the attachment is no longer previewed.
How can I make it the default for all attachments in received messages to only be shown as a icon and not previewed?

In Terminal,
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool Yes
