You're on the right track.

You wrote:

>tell "finder"
> Open special folder "apple menu items"
>end


This should work as-is:

tell application "Finder"
open folder "Apple Menu Items" of system folder
end tell

Alternatively, you could just place an alias (aka shortcut in the Windows world)
to the Apple Menu Items folder onto your desktop or wherever you prefer for
quick access. Double clicking this alias would likely open the folder faster
than a script would, since there would be no launching/running of an application
(namely you script applet).

I hope this helps!

Be well and good luck.
