I've successfully installed SQL Server 2011 Express with Tools on my laptop running Windows 7 Pro. I can't figure out how to start using it - it doesn't show up in the programs list. How do I get started?

SQL Server 2011???? You mean SQL Server 2012 or SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2008 R2)?

Did you install client tools or just the database engine?
