Why is it that Finder doesn't understand "~/Desktop"? Finder should 'get with the program', the forward slash has been with us for more than 4 years now. If anything, the use of ':' should be deprecated, that should have been in the coffin with OS 9 :-)

FWIW, Finder is able to do something on the desktop with no path/ directory information at all. Since the desktop is a property of the Finder, items directly contained by the desktop can be considered elements of either the desktop or of the Finder application. So even this should do the job:


tell application "Finder" to make new folder
