SQL Server Tools General
Query Analyzer does not come with SQL 2005. QA has been replaced with SQL Server Management Studio -a combination of the previous QA and Enterprise Manager.
I don't think that the client tools install by default when you install a server. You may have to run the install again, this time selecting the Client Tools instead of the server.
Then you 'should' have SQL Sever Management Studio on your Programs menu (as well as a few other client tools.)
Many people I know of are even in QL Server 2005 ages more dedicated to the QA, and the good thing is, it even works with the SQL Server 2005 Server. :-)
