Default WindowsUpdate taken off of Start menu after SP2

After installing Windows XP SP2, the WindowsUpdate link is no longer on the
Start menu. There is no option to put it back on in the Start Menu
Properties, so how do I get it back? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's now in the "All Programs" fly-out menu near the top. If you want it in
the initial Start Menu area, right click on it and choose "Pin to Start
menu".

Look for it instead in Internet explorer - Tools menu

Right-click the file wupdmgr.exe in c:\windows\system32
and choose "Pin to start menu"
