You can easily add things to the VFP menu. Modifying the toolbars, I'm not so sure about, but you could create your own custom toolbar and run it at start-up.

Sam,
As far as I know, you can't add a custom button to any of the built-in toolbars. You can add buttons to a toolbar from a pre-defined palette, but you can't change the functionality of the button that you add.
My own approach is to add a command to a custom menu. I have a DevTools menu which is loaded at startup. This contains the half dozen or so utilities I use frequently in the development environment. You could do something similar.
Another option would be to define a keyboard macro to run your program, which you would then be able to launch by hitting a chosen key combination.
