property finderHeight : 700

tell application "Finder"
set screenBounds to bounds of window of desktop
set screenWidth to item 3 of screenBounds
set screenHeight to item 4 of screenBounds
set centerX to screenWidth / 2
set centerY to screenHeight / 2
activate
set visible of (every process whose visible is true and frontmost is false) to false
set finder1 to make new Finder window
set the bounds of finder1 to {centerX - finderWidth div 1, centerY - (finderHeight / 2) div 1, centerX - 2 div 1, centerY + (finderHeight / 2) div 1}
set the current view of finder1 to column view

Try this:

property finderWidth : 900 -- MUST BE SMALLER THEN HALF OF THE ACTUAL SCREEN SIZE!
property finderHeight : 700

tell application "Finder"
	set screenBounds to bounds of window of desktop
	set screenWidth to item 3 of screenBounds
	set screenHeight to item 4 of screenBounds
	set centerX to screenWidth / 2
	set centerY to screenHeight / 2
	activate
	set visible of (every process whose visible is true and frontmost is false) to false
	set finder1 to make new Finder window
	-- Downloads folder
	set the target of finder1 to path to downloads folder
	set the bounds of finder1 to {centerX - finderWidth div 1, centerY - (finderHeight / 2) div 1, centerX - 2 div 1, centerY + (finderHeight / 2) div 1}
	set the current view of finder1 to column view
	set finder2 to make new Finder window
	-- Documents folder
	set the target of finder2 to path to documents folder
	set the bounds of finder2 to {centerX + 2, centerY - (finderHeight / 2) div 1, centerX + finderWidth, centerY + (finderHeight / 2) div 1}
	set the current view of finder2 to column view
end tell

[kryten2]

set the target of finder2 to folder "whatever" of folder "foldername" of disk "nameofyourdisk"

Several ways to do this. Start by learning some basics.
