Using Mupen64Plus

Windows:

First create this directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus (<username> is whatever your PC name is). Now copy all the .ini and .cfg files into this folder. Next create a folder in there and name it "save". Open up command (Windows Key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter) and drag/drop mupen64plus-ui-console.exe into cmd, hit space, and drag/drop the ROM you want to play and then hit enter. It should look similar to:

C:\Users\PC>"F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-ui-console.exe" "F:\Games\Super Mario 64.n64

To change plugins, after you've dragged/dropped mupen's exe into cmd, hit space and type "--gfx", hit space, then drag/drop the plugin you want to use, hit space again, and then drag/drop the game you want to run and hit enter. Which should look similar to:

C:\Users\PC>"F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-ui-console.exe" --gfx "F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2.dll" "F:\Games\Super Mario 64.n64

To change settings open mupen64plus.cfg, or the plugin's .cfg/.ini file in notepad++.

NOTE: For the absolute fastest way to setup and use M64P: unzip ALL files into 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus', create a save folder and then then make .n64/.z64/.v64 file extensions to open with mupen64plus-ui-console.exe by default. Then just click on your N64 ROMs to play.
