Managing MSDE and SQL Express...

Hi all,
I'm a newbie so I won't mind if you roll your eyes as you read this...
I have sqlExpress installed on my machine and its working beautifully.
I have used SqlExpress and msde in the past for web development with
great success, but I have always had an issue managing the databases in
Visual Studio.net or VisualWebDev2k5 in as much as its cumbersome and
hard to manage not to mention slower.
Is there any sort of stand-alone interface - like SQL enterprise
manager -- to help with this?
Thanks (in advance) for the help.
