Hey that works pretty good, but I'm having a problem with it reolving
aliases.

I modified it as follows:

tell application "Finder"
activate
select folder "Tab Folders "
open selection
select every item of container window of folder "Tab Folders "
open selection
set allFolders to every item of folder "Tab Folders "
repeat with kfolder in allFolders
set popup of container window of kfolder to true
end repeat
set the pulled open of front window to false
select folder "Tab Folders "
open selection
close container window of folder "Tab Folders "
end tell

I changed the repeat loop from "folders" to "Items" to get it to open all
items, I may need to add a second loop or if statement to have it
properly handle aliases.

Any comments would be appreciated!

I am in digest mode, so don't be afraid to "Double Tap" your replies!

TIA,

Stephen
