I use Solidworks every day for work. An Intern was messing around on Solidworks yesterday and when I came in today and went to use the tool box it says "Tool Box is not Installed"
I need it and dont really know where to go from here. I have Solidworks 2017 64 bit
I dont have that
Are you using a network license OR standalone? Either way, toolbox is available with Professional or Premium version and it looks like you've only standard version. Can you please check and confirm that?

How do I check that?
Go to Help Menu > About SOLIDWORKS and check (like in picture below)
I was thinking similar, about licenses, but dismissed the idea that "an intern messing around with Solidworks" would have anything to do with altering license use. It's not like an intern should have admin rights to the network license manager software, even if he/she was poking around at everything available, as in opening every start menu utility included under Solidworks. To quote GIR, "What's this do?"
However, if you are at the capacity of elevated licenses for network licenses, and one more user loads up the last Professional or Premium license before you get to it, then the only license left for you to acquire may be a Standard. IMHO, management often disregards finite license handling when assigning the new guy to do something, thus locking out a typical user.
Yes I agree that uninstalling only toolbox is not possible. So probably my $$ is on the network license usage (with only standard available) or that particular system has only standard version installed (if standalone)
I can't imagine the intern uninstalling your toolbox. Go to your options and make sure the path to your toolbox is correct....If all else fails, reinstall toolbox...
And whip that intern with a wet noodle.
James,
Go to Tools>Add-ins and make sure SolidWorks Toolbox library is checked......
