How To Enable FILESTREAM Feature On SQL Server 2008 (

To enable FILESTREAM feature on SQL Server 2008:
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager (Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2008 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager)
Although I have all the SQL Server components I've listed above, SQL doesn't appear on my Programs menu or on my desktop. I don't have any idea why. I could try to guess which .exe on my hard drive is the correct one and run it, but I may guess wrong and somehow cause myself real problems that way. Any suggestions about what I should do to enable FILESTREAM in SQL, as well as to get SQL on my Programs menu?
