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.
