Here are the steps:

1. Create a blank sequence file
2. Delete MainSequence
3. Add a sequence named Foo (or a more appropriate name)
4. Add a call to your VI in the sequence named Foo
5. Save the sequence file
6. Go to Tools>>Customize
7. Click the Add button
8. Choose Sequence under Item Type:
9. Browse to your saved sequence file for Sequence File:
10. Select Foo (or appropriately named sequence) for Sequence:
11. Click OK
12. Back in the Customize Tools Menu for Item Text Expression: choose an appropriate name (must be in string format)
13. For Enable Expression: either put True or CurrentUserHasPrivilege("*")
14. Uncheck Edits Selected File

Let me know if you need more info.
