There's a setting for column view, but I don't think there is one for  
List view unless it's tweaking a plist. However, it used to be that  
if you closed all windows, opened one window, changed the view in  
some way, and closed the window, it would reset the default window  
setting.  The Finder pref, as I recall, will override this for column  
view.  But I only ever use column view and only very occasionally  
switch to List.

Google on LaunchDB or Launch Services and 'os x' and you'll find what  
you need.
