Hello!

I noticed my Windows XP Pro. SP2 (all updates)'s is missing WZC in its
Service list. How do I get it back? I assume I don't have to have a
wireless network device in my machine to have this appear.

It is in my registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I do see Wireless Network Configuration Wizard in control panel though.

Thank you in advance. :)

In the main WZCSVC registry key, change the value of "Start" from 1 to
2, then reboot.

Weird, I just noticed it is back after turning on my computer a few
minutes ago. I wonder what happened.
