Open Finder window with fixed size download

This AppleScript "Open Applications folder" opens a Finder window for the "Applications" directory in a fixed size. The Finder sometimes "suffers" from amnesia regarding to its window sizes.

Just put this compiled script into the dock and you have it at hand quickly.

Alternatively I wrote a service which can be installed easily and assigned a keyboard shortcut to execute this code (when the finder is topmost application, just by clicking into the dock for example).

Developed and tested on Mac OS X 10.11.5

Features

usable as application
usable as service from within Finder
comprehensive documentation in the code
