    I wan't get PIDL path form regedit, such as "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidlMRU\txt", my os is win7.

    i can get it in VC++,via SHGetPathFromIDList (API), but how to use the script to get PIDL path, thanks!

    You cannot directly call any API function directly from a script langauge.  I suggest revciewing teh doocumentation on the PIDL index and the API.  YUo can use C, C++ and VB directly to call thiosxz API.  To use C# or VB.Net you have to custom declare the  API function.

    You should ask your question in the developers forum for the language you are using/intend to use.

    I would ask why you need this as nearly all programs that use an MRU provide the calls to get the entries as a list.  The API is used for building and managing the MRU from a host program such as Excel or Word.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
