The icon for my Windows Media Player is completely gone from my pc?

The icon for my Windows Media Player is completely gone from my pc. Every where I look, all programs, desktop, default programs, tool bar. Can't find it anywhere. But when I tried to do an update my pc stated that I have the most up to date program of Windows Media Player 11. Nothing has changed since yesterday. Can anyone help me PLEASE. I HAVE TON of programs of that thing. THANK YOU ALL. PS. how did we live without the world wide web back in the day? :)
