When no folder is open I get :
folder "Desktop" of folder "yvankoenig" of folder "Users" of startup disk of
application "Finder"

When a folder is open I get :
folder "cession titres" of folder "Desktop" of folder "yvankoenig" of folder
"Users" of startup disk of application "Finder"

I'm unable to get the described error.
