Ok this worked for the one time and now that ive gone into it again everything is back where I am missing my Magic Wand. How to I reset my setting where its going to stay and I will always show the magic wand when opening photo shop?

Or, perhaps you are using a workspace that is hiding it. Try:

Window > Workspace > Essentials

Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials

For some background on why tools go missing, see:

Hi Barb,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion also.

In current versions of Photoshop, the tool display is tied to the workspace.

Either use the Essentials workspace as I mentioned above (which shows all of the tools), or use Edit > Toolbars to control the display. Tools in the right column will not be visible in the Toolbar unless you move them to the left column.

If it were me, I would spend a few minutes to learn how to use workspaces so that this is not a continuing problem.
