I'm not sure why it should work in vim71, does the mru author recommend that user file be stored inside program files folder? I rarely use vista but iirc no user files should be written into program files folder except installation. The mru file that visible in file explorer might actual reside inside \users\yourlogin folder. So I think the simplest solution is to put that mru file outside program files folder.
