Shapes tool disappeared from tools

I have Illustrator 10 and when I first installed it I had a shapes button.  Now it is gone.  I've looked through the comments and others said that the shape that is selected shows instead of the rectangle but I don't have any shapes.  How do I get it back?

    Hi cjgrove

    Illustrator 10 being a very old version (end of life), so I am not sure if same workflow would work for it, but you may try resetting the preferences.

    Are you sure you're thinking of Illustrator and not Photoshop?

    Thank you the comment above about resetting the preferences fixed the issue.
