Line Studies Tool-Bar Menu in the MetaTrader 4

Sometimes traders will say "oh, I can't find Fib extension tool on my MetaTrader 4 where can I get it?"

All these line studies and tools are located on the line studies tool-bar: however, by default not all of them are set to display, henceforth a trader must know where to get these tools that aren't displayed by default on the MT4 Platform. So how can a trader add a tool, to the line studies tool-bar shown below?
