Sketchup 2013 Missing Plugin Tab (Extensions don't work)

Thanks
I got the scf manager to work through your method.
With the scf manager, I was able to see my other plugins like "sandbox tool" etc.
However, after I restart Sketchup everything is gone.
What to do?hmm.. im not quite sure as i use mac.. but the sandbox tools were always there.. they came with sketchup and are in the Tools menu.. you can turn the extension on/off (i.e.- whether or not it loads when you launch sketchup) via the extensions preferences you've already found..
but to get better answers, it will be helpful if you provide more info.
"However, after I restart Sketchup everything is gone."
gone from where, exactly? gone from the plugins folder? from the tools menu? no more toolbar? etc.
what have you turned on and how did you turn it on etc..lots of ways to interpret your problems especially when you might not realize you could be using terminology which means one thing in sketchup while you're saying another..
that said, bear with it through tomorrow.. someone here will get you past the AHA moment in which all of this stuff becomes much more simple
(fwiw, the .rbz files & the 'install extension' function are meant to be a way to keep things more simple.. but if you want to learn about the plugin paths/folders/.rb files etc then you can do that and you do have the ability to manually do all the installs.. it's just going to lead to a bit more confusion at first)

Sorry about that I should of worded it better.
The "Sandbox" plugin was never there in my Sketchup until I got the scf manager downloaded and working.
With scf manager, "sandbox" magically appeared in my tools menu.
I closed the scf manager toolbar and after a restart of Sketchup, I can't seem to find the scf manager toolbar and sandbox under the tools menu.Also in my preferences> extensions is completely blank as you can see in the first image I provided in the first post
Hope that makes sense.

Jeff, how did you know about the tea drinking?

Simon, can't you find 'Sandbox' toolbar in menu View > Toolbars > check 'Sandbox'?
For all I know you don't have to download any sandbox plugin. It's there right from when you install SketchUp.
