How to run SQL Server Management Studio

We have installed SQL Server 2005 on a machine running Windows 2003. We foun
d
out that there is no Enterprise Manager, but Management Studio. We have no
idea how to run this.
We tried to remove SQL Server, but Add/Remove doesn't remove it. Just only
removes it from the list.
We hope we can get an answer, because we are a serious evaluating SQL 2005
over Oracle 10g.
Thanks for your help.

menu only Configurations Tools is shown.
We have seen another post with the same problem but they were trying to
install it on XP, while we have installed it on Server 2003.
The installation program seems to run so smooth, so we can't imagine that
something crucial like this was overlooked.
Any help is appreciated.

The bizarre thing is that it doesn't remove the installation through
Add/Remove Programs, while it takes it from the list. When you try to instal
l
certain components (through Advanced) then it tells you it is already there.
Another problem is that when you install subcomponents it won't let you
install other subcomponents later.
This product definitely has installation issues and I hope they will be
resolved as the pack will now start evaluating (like us) and they're turned
away before they can even try away. A smooth installation is software
marketing 101.
Any help is appreciated. Even help to remove the product.
