Good question, but I still need the Finder because I have to use it to
make a new file on the desktop.


Just to reiterate the problem:

tell application "Finder" to get path to desktop as string

result==>>	"k8:Desktop:"

tell application "Finder" to get folder "k8:Desktop:"

result==>> "Finder got an error: Can't get folder \"k8:Desktop:\"."


This works for me (AS 1.9.3, OS X 10.3.8):

set thePath to path to desktop folder tell application "Finder" to get folder thePath --folder "Desktop" of folder "dkmarsh" of folder "Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"
