It is also on the Start Menu just below the Control Panel button.

That's not supported, but:

If you want to use the 64bit version of WMP as the default player on Vista
64-bit, run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:64" from an ELEVATED (admin) cmd.exe
prompt and then set registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\wmplayer.exe, "Path" to
be "%Programfiles%\Windows Media Player". To undo that, reset the "Path"
value and then run "unregmp2.exe /SwapTo:32" from an elevated cmd.exe
prompt.
