Windows media play is missing from AutoPlay

[BDF]

After upgrading from XP Home to Vista Home Premium, the machine is missing 
all of the choices in AutoPlay that deal with aspects of Windows Media Player.

Gone are:
  Play audio CD using Windows Media Player
  Rip music from CD using Windows Media Player

So far we have tried:
  sfc/scannow which report no integrity problems
  download / reinstall WMP which will not install an older version over the 
installed version

Also, Windows Media Player icons did not automatically setup after the 
install, so I went into the directory and ran the setup_wm.exe file

How can I get the Window Media Player functionality back?
