Windows Update Icon

I used to have a windows update icon in my start menu, and on the desktop. I
deleted the one on the desktop, and it took out the one in the start menu
too. I don't know how to restore, or find this missing icon.

Go here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu

There you'll put a new shortcut headed here:

%SystemRoot%\system32\wupdmgr.exe
