Missing Windows Update - How to reinstall "Windows update"?

I think that I had a corruption problem, and as a consequence on my
Computer I don't have the "Windows Update Icon".

How can I reinstall the "Windows Update" components on my computer
without perform a whole system reinstallation?

Regards

1. Right-click on the Desktop and select: New>Shortcut
2. In the Create Shortcut window, type: Windows Update
3. Click Next
4. In the next window, type: %SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe
5. Click Finish
4. A Windows Update icon will appear on your Desktop. You can drag and drop the new
shortcut into the appropriate place in your menu.

If you're using SP 2, the Shortcut Wizard will appear:
For the location of the item for example Windows Update:
%SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe


To place the shortcut that you've created on the desktop to the folder of your choice
(for example this is Win XP):-

Right click Start button
Select Explore and/or Explore All Users.
Then open the Programs folder.
Navigate to the Folder you want the shortcut in and drag it from the desktop to the
folder you have selected.

Hope that all makes sense.
