I should have installed it first.) and now there is no Menu Item on the Start / Programs menu showing the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio.

If you find SSMS in either location, then here are the steps as I just discussed this problem through chat with Denis Gobo:
start-->startup, right click on it click explore and then drag the program in there but create a shortcut..don't copy
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
