Can I adjust the default size of the HD window in column view

I like to see my hard drive in column view, but the default width of the columns is too narrow. To see all the information, I have to manually increase the width size. Once I set the first column to the desired width, it stays there, but all other columns have to be resized each time they come up.

Is there a way to adjust the default width of the columns so I don't have to change them each time?

I am running OSX 10.5.6

Thanks!

Option-click and drag the column size. All columns will resize at once.
