set fp to path to home folder
tell application "Finder"
if not (exists Finder window 1) then
tell (make new Finder window) to set ¬
{target, toolbar visible, statusbar visible, current view} ¬
to {fp, false, false, list view}
end if
end tell
-- <cut> --
and does what you're asking but it's a bug workaround because -
-- <script> --
make new finder window with properties {toolbar visible: false,statusbar visible: false,current view: list view,target: fp}
-- </script> --
still doesn't work.
