Oh boy, I spent 3 hours for this simple thing and tried combination of above instructions.If it doesnt work for you, just try several combinations of above instructions and it will. I am on windows 7 and nexus 5. Issue I had was when I try to install driver from the google usb folder, windows 7 fails to install. Here are my steps:

-first uninstall all nexus drivers on windows 7. connect with USB cable, go to device manager and uninstall the driver; unplug the cable and repeat until no drivers are found and nexus shows up under "other devices" in device manager. I also configured nexus device as camera (PTP)

-follow @Dharani Kumar instructions. They make appropriate configuration changes for nexus device

-follow @Harshit Rathi instructions. They will ensure eclipse can show the device when windows detects the device

-unplug and replug the USB cable after a minute. Now you should see a pop up on nexus device. click it so that windows 7 will allow installing the driver from your local system. if you dont see this, restart your device or pc

-follow @Rick's instructions.you can download USB driver as listed by @jimbob

If you still have a problem, re read this entire thread and go from there (I spent hours on other web sites; those bits and pieces didnt help)
