Did you install the client tools as well as the server? It is the client tools which provide the applications that appear in the start menu.

You need to install the SQL Server Management app for 2005 (free from MS). Download here[^]. Good Luck. :)

Notes:

1. You need a UI to manage the database(s) on you machine or server.
2. The licensed version has the manager built into the installment package.
3. The trial version you have install the manager separately.
