OK,
I have downloaded and installed 2005 express. All I want to do now is create a new database. I do not see where to do that. All that was installed was the SQL Server Configuration Manager and the Surface Area configuration. Am I missing something. I guess I am looking for something similar to Enterprise Manager. Where is it
creating a database

Newbie here...
I installed the SQL Server from the VWD. I would like to get the SSMSE, do I need to uninstall everything (i.e. VWD, SQL Server) before downloading SSMSE
The other scenario:
What if I would like the Advanced Services instead, do I need to uninstall everything before downloading

You should be able to install SSMSE on top of your current installation without uninstalling SQL Express.
wrt Advanced Services, you should be able to install it to a different instance. Haven't tried though.

Yep, what you need is SQL Server Management Studio Express which is a version of SQL Server Management Studio specially tailored for SQL Server Express.
you can download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/
