Hi Jenn,
I have Vista Ultimate, and it is in "Start" then "All Programs" list
between "Windows DVD Maker" and "Windows Mail".
However, unless you have a Fax Modem installed in your system, Vista
may not have detected and/or installed it.
The following is from Vista's Help where it makes reference to this.

Set up your computer to send and receive faxes
With Windows Fax and Scan you can send and receive faxes, fax or
e‑mail scanned documents, and forward faxes as e‑mail attachments from
your computer.
To send and receive faxes using a modem
Before you begin, make sure that you've attached an analog phone line
to your computer. You can't use a digital phone line to send or
receive faxes.
If your computer has a built-in fax modem, Windows will automatically
detect it during the setup process. You can connect to one local fax
modem only, although you can connect to multiple fax servers or
devices on a network. If you're not sure whether your computer has a
built-in fax modem, check the hardware information that came with your
computer. If you have an external fax modem, follow the manufacturer's
instructions for attaching it to your computer. Make sure that the
modem is turned on before taking these steps.
Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Windows
Fax and Scan.
To use Fax view, at the bottom of the left pane, click Fax.
If you're connecting to a fax device for the first time, click New Fax
on the toolbar, and then, in the Fax Setup Wizard, follow the
instructions for connecting to a fax modem.
– or –
If you've already connected to one or more fax servers or devices on a
network and want to connect to a modem, click Tools, click Fax
Accounts, and then click Add. In the Fax Setup Wizard, complete the
steps for connecting to a fax modem.
Note
To set up your computer to send faxes only, click I'll choose later; I
want to create a fax now in the Fax Setup Wizard. Keep in mind that by
choosing this option, you will be able to send faxes but you will not
be able to receive them. For information on setting up your computer
to receive faxes, see Receive a fax.
