I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express twice now, and all the services work and I can create databases from Visual Studio 2010, but I don't have the Enterprise Manager (I learned it is now called Management Studio) available in the SQL Server 2008 program menu-- I do have other menu items like configuration manager, etc. but nothing for Management Studio / Enterprise Manager.

Is there a checkbox I've missed during installation?
I ran a search for all exes in the SQL Server root folder and nothing jumped out as belonging to the Enterprise Manager, but I'm not 100% sure what the executable would be named.

I maintain a couple of older sites running SQL Server 2000 and 2005. On my old XP box I was using SQL Server Enterprise Manager to access them. I'm now on a Windows 7 box. Is that product still available for download/install and will it run on Windows 7? I can't seem to find a download for that specific component. If you have MSDE 2000, then it has no free Enterprise Manager. Microsoft added GUI-based management tool to its free version of SQL Server only starting SQL Server 2005 Express. Why don't you use the 2005 version with MSDE 2000? Or search the internet - there are a couple of third-party ones. Feb 22, 2013 'Enterprise Manager' is the old tool for SQL Server 2000 and former version. Since Version 2005 SSMS = SQL Server Management Studio is the new tool for SQL Server. Of if you used the Express Edition, then you can get SSMS here as a free download: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 R2 SP2 - Express Edition = SQLManagementStudioxXXENU.exe.

SQL Server Express doesn't come with SQL Server Management Studio (what you are really looking for when you say Enterprise Manager). You have to download it separately:

or with tools already as part of the download

It's kind of tricky installing Management Studio. This article walks you through it.

Here is an explanation of the situation:

The 2008 version of the Management Studio is not a stand alone installation and can only be installed as part of the SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools or Advanced installation.

Like many others, I spent countless hours trying to figure out how to install the Management Studio for SQL Server 2008 Express - Advanced installation (same should apply to the w/ Tools version). What happened in my case was that I installed Visual Studio 2008 Express and during that process a stripped down 'Instance' of SQL Server 2008 was installed that did not include the Management Studio. Through much pain and torture I learned that the Management Studio can only be installed during installation of the first instance. To delete that first instance, you must go to 'Add or Remove Programs' and remove 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008'. The removal process will only remove one instance at a time and if you have installed more than one instance you need to keep going until all instances have been removed and the application completely disappears from the Add or Remove Programs' dialog. Note: You do not need to uninstall any of the other SQL Server 2008 applications that also appear in the 'Add or Remove Programs' dialog. Then go back through the install process as follows: Double click on SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe to load the SQL Server Installation Center and then go to Installation > New SQL Server stand-alone installation. Then proceed through all of the installation steps until you get to “Feature Selection” and click on “Select All” to toggle on all of the Shared Features, which should include Management Tools - Basic.Continue the process from there and you should be good to go. Hopefully this will help others to avoid much of the pain that many of us have already experienced.

The Management Studio exe is named ssms.exe.

The OP is not alone in his puzzlement about the 'missing' management client!!! ;-)
The answers by DOK and CD Jorgensen found here were -collectively- among the most helpful I found while searching the web on this particular issue! At the risk of being redundant, I'm adding this answer with the goal of being more explicit and of safeguarding the key screenshots from Andrea Montanari's article referenced in DOK's answer.

Two things to know:

Not all installation packages for SQL Server 2008 Express Edition include the Management Studio.
You either need to ...
a) ... download the Install package for SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools (named something like SQLEXPRWT_cpu_language.exe: note the WT, short for With Tools) or an installer for an Edition of SQL Server other than Express.
or
b) ...download the Installer specific to Microsoft SQL Management Studio Express (same link as provided by CD Jorgensen). This installer only contains the Management Studio; it has none of the SQL Server per se.
[if you go with an a) install package]
The Management Studio (formerly Enterprise Manager) client remains a stand-alone, independent, component. However its installation is now triggered from a selection made as part of the 'Install or Modify SQL Server' track.
It is not found in a separate 'Install clients and Tools' menu item from the topmost dialog of the installer (as was the case with SQL 2005 and previous versions).
One should stress that it is stand-alone and the client can indeed be installed on hosts where the SQL Server [engine] is not, and will not be, installed at all. However the initial steps in the Installation Wizard give a strong impression that we will effectively install or re-install SQL Server. It is only on a subsequent step labelled Feature Selection that we have the ability to select Management Tools under Shared Features. On that same Feature Selection dialog we have the option of including or excluding, as desired, the installation of the SQL Server Engine and other Server supporting modules.

These are the two key dialogs of the wizard with regards to this issue:
The first one really appears to put you on track to install or mess with the SQL Server itself, the other dialog finally provides the opportunity of opting for the Client Tools (which include, mainly, the Management Studio). This same dialog also allows checking or un-checking the selection to install the Server per se.

Credits and more info:
The screenshots were taken from Andrea Montanari's article on the Insulin Power web site. This article referenced in DOK's answer provides a step-by-step description of the installation based on the 'With Tools' installer.
As said in the introduction, I learned much from CD Jorgensen and DOK's answers; I'm merely making a few things more explicit, here, and correcting a few omissions (e.g. there are some installers which carry both the Server and the client, and it is not necessary to install the server).

Enterprise Mode is a compatibility mode that runs on Internet Explorer 11, letting websites render using a modified browser configuration that’s designed to emulate either Windows Internet Explorer 8 or Windows Internet Explorer 7, avoiding the common compatibility problems associated with web apps written and tested on older versions of Internet Explorer.

You can use IE11 and the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager to add individual website domains and domain paths and to specify whether the site renders using Enterprise Mode or the default mode.

Enterprise Mode Site List Manager versions

There are currently two versions of the Enterprise Site List Manager, both based on your schema and operating system. Download the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.2) or the Enterprise Mode Site List Manager (schema v.1) tool, based on your operating system.
