My guess is you are referring to the “Getting Started Screen” when Visio is
first started. When this option is selected it should display all the
available categories for your copy of Visio. Under Tools Options View
make sure there is a check mark placed next to the “Getting Started Screen”.

right-click on the categories and close them to clean up the toolbox
thinking that when I restarted they would show up again. But that was
not the case.

Tell me what menu you are using.

What are you right-clicking on? Nothing I know of closes categories by right-clicking on
them. What toolbox? Is this some 3rd-party tool?

In the shapes toolbar you will see categories (different ones
depending on which type of template you chose to open) and if you
right-click on the category (ex. Basic shapes) you can close it. But
there is no way to add in categories.
