Like Robert's script, this counts the visible items in a Finder window,
but does so without selecting anything. Tested in both 10.4.11 and
10.6.7 with all permutations of toolbar and sidebar visibiltiy:

  -- Assuming the Finder's front window is a Finder window in list view.
  tell application "System Events"
    tell application process "Finder"
      tell window 1
        -- Splitter group test for when the toolbar hidden in OS 10.4.11.
        if (splitter group 1 exists) then
          count rows of outline 1 of scroll area -1 of splitter group 1
        else
          count rows of outline 1 of scroll area -1
        end if
      end tell
    end tell
  end tell
