I have about 400 photo files scanned at various resolutions that I need to resize so that they are all at a consistent width of 20cm at 300dpi.

When I open each file  the units defaults to pixels. Is it possible to choose to default to centimetres, so that when I open the resize document menu I wouldn't have to change the units from pixels to centimetres each time before changing the size and dpi.

No, that's not possible. When you open an existing image the units will default to px.

But what you could do is use a batch job, via File > New Batch Job. You would load the files into the batch job, and specify the desired output format and width. You would also specify a macro to set the dpi. You can download that macro from the Resources forum, here:
