Is there an easy way to add buttons to the standard tool bar that work the comment and uncomments? I had it working once but don't remember how I got it and I use it to clean up code by commenting it out and checking for errors and then uncommenting if necessary. It's also good for documentation of code.

To view the default buttons, open any .vb code file. Go to menu > VIEW > Toolbars, and make sure that “Text Editor” is selected. The buttons looks like this:

The toolbars can be rearranged.

To add these buttons to Standard toolbar, click the three-dots button on Standard toolbar, select “Add or Remove Buttons”, then “Customize...”. Press “Add Command...”, find the buttons in Edit group. (They are called “Selection Comment” and “Selection Uncomment”).
