i need to copy an existing file "File a" in folder "desktop/source" to another folder location "desktop/destination" and call it "File B"

Since the desktop can be identified as a Finder property, desktop items can be considered elements of either the desktop or of the Finder. This can simplify the Finder's access to desktop items - such as in the following line (watch for wraps):

-----------------

tell application "Finder" to set name of (duplicate file "File A" of folder "Source" to folder "Destination") to "File B"
