Menu
I'm trying to install NERDTree (the Vim plugin) on Windows 7. I created a .vim directory on my user folder (C:/Users/Username) and extracted the plugin there. I've run :helptags ~.vim\doc and :helptags [full-path]. Closed and reopened Vim.
But when I try:
:NERDTree
the editor says:
E492: Not an editor command: NERDTree
How should I do it?

Press m to bring up the NERDTree Filesystem Menu. This menu allows you to create, rename, and delete files and directories. Type a to add a child node and then simply enter the filename. You're done!
Toggle the NERDtree window open and closed with <SHIFT>F8 key. Or use the \nt key mapping to open the file explorer with the cursor focus set to the file in your current vim buffer. So you probably just learned the most important part of this post. Open NERDtree with <SHIFT>F8 or :NERDTree command.
Ctrl + → arrow will switch to tab that is on the right of current tab.
Windows doesn't use the '.vim' style directories. Instead you should put addons in directory structure branching off a vimfiles directory at one of two places:
c:\users\username\vimfiles\
or
c:\program files (x86)\vim\vimfiles\
For a little more help you can do :h runtimepath, and you could even modify runtimepath to make it work with your .vim directory, but safest route is just to go with the default vimfiles name oon Windows.

try extracting the file to vimfiles instead of .vim
