Autohotkey_L and Windows Explorer

I've started using Windows 7 and switched over to Autohotkey_L at the same time. I'm having some trouble. Is there a way to get the current folder and list of selected files from an open explorer window when pressing a hotkey. Thanks.

Read the clipboard documentation

Thanks for the reply., Sorry, I should have specified without using the clipboard. I know how to do that. Is there not a cleaner method? This is the kind of code I had working before:

GroupAdd, Explore, ahk_class CabinetWClass
GroupAdd, Explore, ahk_class ExploreWClass

#IfWinActive ahk_group Explore
{
explorerClass = ExploreWClass

space::

; Get current path in Explorer
  WinGetClass explorerClass, A
  ControlGetText currentPath, Edit1, ahk_class %explorerClass%
  ControlGet, selectedFile, List, Selected Col1, SysListView321,ahk_class %explorerClass%
   msgbox %currentPath%\%selectedFile%
}

COM can be used to access any Explorer windows that are open. You may use jethrow's post as a starting point. (Check the links, and note that Item.HWND can be compared to WinActive("A") to find the active window.)

Thanks for the link. I couldn't work out how to use Item.HWND. I'd appreciate some more help. I looked at Item.LocationURL but that seems a very messy way to get a regular path. I'm finding this much more difficult than I imagined.
