You can use the SQL Server Surface area configuration to start/stop services like your SQL instance.
If you want a GUI interface then you need to install SQL Server Management Studio.
|||Dear Jimmy,
Thanks for your reply. I have started SQL Server instance service. Is SQL Server Management Studio is free?
If it is free, Please provide me URL path from where I can download?
Is there any other way with which I can run or access Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition?

Your Express database is already installed so you can use it right away. You can either connect from the VS IDE, but if you want a GUI to the database then you need to use the SQL Management tool another 3rd party tool or rely on Visual Studio's server explorer.
