Harsh, man harsh.... <8-{
I'm guessing Emile is very new to AppleScript
and is looking for newby-like assistance.
Perhaps constructive questions like,
"For what purpose are you running this script and what error were
you getting?" are more in order.
Cheers,

What's wrong with it?
It's ugly. It's perfectly useless. Will only work in cases where you
have at least 6 Finder windows open when you run it (otherwise it
will throw an error). It's completely inflexible, oh, and assuming
what it does is what you want, it be done with just two lines of code.
tell application "Finder"
close {Finder window 1, Finder window 2}
set bounds of Finder window 1 to {0, 44, 601,
394}
end tell
Recorded scripts are rarely useful, especially those recorded by the
Finder. They're usually too literal to be useful as-is after they're
recorded and require substantial editing to make them worthwhile, as
can be seen by the 78% of cruft in your example.
