If you need some more detailed help there is a SIG on GUI customization:

Yes they look to be what I need however my IT department does not allow me to add, move or delete anything in my Program Files route directory so this doesn't seem like it will be something I can do.

You don't and it isnt recommended you change files in teh Program Fies folder.

The process you should follow should be as follows:

1. create a dgnlib best place would be :

   C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Standards\dgnlib

2. add the dgnlib to to the MS_GUIDGNLIB variable best two options are to add in 1 of 2 config variables

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Standards\standards.cfg

    or if this is only for yourself in you UCF  file probably found under

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries)\WorkSpace\Users

3. make the customizations to the context menu as desired and outlined in the articles above.

This route tree does not exist on my C:/ so I assume you want me to create that folder structure?  Could I just make a folder called Standards and put the file in there?

The C:\ProgramData folder is there, it's just hidden by Windows. You have to change your Windows settings to show hidden files and folders to see it.

I would recommend you create your own folder for your dgnlib files, something like C:\Jeff\dgnlib for the sake of this discussion.

Following on to what David Trejo-Rodriguez said here are the steps involved.

1. Create the folder for your dgnlibs (C:\Jeff\dgnlib)
   
   
2. Create a new dgn file in that folder with a .dgnlib extension (i.e. MyTools.dgnlib)
   
   
3. Open any file MicroStation
   
   
4. Select Workspace > Configuration
   
   
5. In the variable list find and select the MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST entry.
   
   
6. Click the Edit button
   
   
7. In the Edit dialog switch the Edit Mode to Append
   
   
8. In the New Value field enter the value C:\Jeff\dgnlib\*.dgnlib
   
   
9. Click OK to save.
   
   
10. Click OK in the main Configuration dialog to save the value to your .ucf file.
    
    
11. Exit MicroStation and restart
    
    
12. Select Workspace > Customize
    
    
13. In the Customize dialog click on File
    
    
14. At the bottom of the file listing you will see an entry for C:\Jeff\dgnlib\MyTools.dgnlib
15. Click on that entry to open your dgnlib file to add your custom toolboxes and menus.

If you do not see your dgnlib listed in step 14 the MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST variable redefinition is not correct.

Just guessing at what you want to accomplish, it may be easier to just set-up some function keys in your very own function key menu. The new fkey.mnu can live anywhere just so you point to it with the configuration variable MS_FKEYMNU. This way each user can have their own and it can be stored outside the sacred "Program" directories.
