Recently we posted a detailed tutorial about customizing Command Bar in Windows 7 Explorer:
How to Customize Windows Explorer Command Bar in Windows 7
The above tutorial allows you to add various useful buttons like Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, Undo, Redo, etc in Command Bar in Windows Explorer.
But some inexperienced Windows users might find the tutorial a bit hard to follow, so today in this tutorial we are going to provide a ready-made registry script which will do the task automatically. But you'll still need to do some task yourself.
So following are the required minimum steps to follow:
STEP 1. Type regedit in RUN or Start menu search box and press Enter. It'll open Registry Editor.
STEP 2. Now go to following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderTypes\{5c4f28b5-f869-4e84-8e60-f11db97c5cc7}
STEP 3. Take permission on the above mentioned key:

STEP 4: Now download following ready-made registry script file:
Extract the ZIP file and run "Add New Buttons.reg" file. It'll immediately add the new buttons to Command bar.
An uninstallation registry script has also been included in the ZIP file so that you can remove the buttons.
Following is the result which you'll get after applying the registry script:

I'm having problems doing anything to the key. It seems I have no permissions to do anything, even when I right click and go run as admin

@leomate
You can remove it any time using the detailed tutorial. It was added to keep consistency. :)
