How to access "Stereo Mix" recording in vista?

In XP you could choose the Stereo Mix in the recording sound options to record sounds as they play on the computer but I can't find this in Vista. How can I record the sounds that play on the computer and not the ones from the microphone in Vista?

"Go to the windows Control Panel, open Sounds.
In the Recording tab, right-click and choose Show Disabled Devices.
Stereo Mix will appear (amongst other).
Right-click Stereo Mix and choose Enable.

You might want to have a look at the device properties (right-click > properties) for volume and other settings.

You would probably still need to set the recording program you'll be using to use the Stereo Mix as a recording device."
