n the first line I took out the word utilities and put in Options folder which creates an error. I also changed the set folderpath to line to: set folderpath to (("Options")) as text) & "RRDAuto" but the script never gets that far.

Any suggestions on how to get this script corrected would be greatly appreciated.

-- create RRDAuto folder
set x to path to utilities folder

The reason is that utilities folder is a defined folder in Standard Additions. Options Folder is not.

You will have to specifically designate the Options folder. Here's an example for an Options Folder at the user folder.

set optionsFolder to ((path to home folder) as text) & "Options"

tell application "Finder"

if not (exists folder optionsFolder) then set optionsFolder to make new folder at (path to home folder) with properties {name:"Options"}

end tell

There's also an error in this snippet from your code:

set x to path to utilities folder

set y to x & "RRDAuto" as string

tell application "Finder"

if exists y then

else

set y to make new folder at x with properties {name:"RRDAuto"}

my Set_Icon()

end if

end tell

y is string, so you're asking the Finder whether a string exists; you need to ask it whether a folder exists. Also, if you insert "not" before "exists", you can remove "else" and make the code a bit more readable.
