Only a folder window can have a selection. There are Finder windows that are not folder windows, for example, an Info window. The following will beep only if the front window is a folder window. If the front window is an Info window, there will be no beep.

"finder window" is what you are calling "folder window". It does not have a selection property, though.

You're right. 'exists Finder window 1' only refers to a folder window, never to an Info window. (in Tiger, at least.)
'information window' is a completely different window class. I had trouble with this once, but I can't remember the details, since the problem was not recent.
