I would like to write a script that will create a folder on my desktop if the folder doesn't exist. How would I go about writing that, as I know that in apple script you must be perferct for it to work.


This is one way:

tell application "Finder" to if not (exists folder "whatever" of desktop) then make new folder at desktop with properties {name:"whatever"}

I think hotmail will wrap that though, so make sure that it's all one line in your script editor.
