and got the error: -1700 Can’t make alias "OS_X:Library (Disabled):untitled folder:World Clock.wdgt:" into type alias list.

Remove "items of" from the script.

That may not always be possible. For example ...

set folderAlias to alias "OS_X:Library (Disabled):untitled folder" -- contains one folder and one file

tell application "Finder"

try

set itemList to (folders of entire contents of folderAlias) as alias list

on error errText number errNr

"Error = " & errNr

display dialog the result default answer errText

end try

end tell

This bug needs to be fixed.
