There is no UI tool for MSDE. MSDE is a database engine that can be
manipulated programmatically via the various APIs, using the OSQL command
line utility or using any of various third party utilities.

SQL 2005 Express (the product that replaces MSDE) does have a UI called
Express Manager but it's a separate download to the database engine product.
