Microphone setup?

I am trying to set up a microphone and I made the mistake of going to
Control Panel>Sound>Recording and selecting the Microphone and Disable. It
when away and I cannot figure out how to get it back to Enabled. I'm sure
it is dumb but I need a little help. Also, before I screwed it up the
Microphone was not recording anything in the Recorder Application. The
Microphone is an old Labtec AM-252 that I have not used in several years.
Do I need a different Microphone or am I missing something else in the
setup? Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question - turn on Show Disabled. And... the old microphone
was not working for some reason. I guess ten years packed in a box took its
toll on the whatever that makes it work.
