Adding new buttons via macro

I started to write our setup procedures for adding toolbar buttons for some of our standard macros and I got to thinking... hey wouldn't be cool if I could write a macro that setup all the standard macros for a new user? This opened a whole frustrating afternoon of looking through the Solidworks API.

1. Is it possible to record macros when customizing the toolbar? It doesn't seem to record anything when I do it, but I didn't know if there was a way to force it to.
2. My most promising line of attack came when reading about people who create whole new toolbars for addins using addToolbarCommand2, but I want to add it to an existing toolbar. To do this I need something called a Cookie, but I don't see a way to get a cookie for an existing toolbar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
