Is there a way to make Finder window “Show All” folders by default?


Whenever I open a finder window, I always have to click on Show All to expand the view.

I do not see any option to do this in View>Show View Options. Any other way?


Thanks

Have you tried an alternative view— ex. list view—from the menu bar
