They got that, right under Add & Delete.

Thanks for the comment.

I actually would like more efficient use of real estate as well especially since I increased the default font size on my laptop.

OK correction to my previous comment. I just discovered somehow the external tools on lines # 4 and 5 do not display on the menu. (A VS bug?) Adding dummy entries there and pushing down the original entries ensured that everything shows on the Tools menu now.

That’s all fine and dandy. But how does one get the tools menus to display more than 3 external tools at a time? I have a ton of screen real estate and I would like to display more than 3 exteranal tools on the menus without having to constantly juggle the order of the tools.
