If your not using Personal Oracle, which I assume your not (It has just such an interface tagged on), then Oracle 7.1 - 7.2 Server for NT ships with Administration tools, that include a similar graphical interface for SQL*Loader. These tools are loaded into (by default) the \ORAWIN directory rather than the \ORANT directory. If you have Oracle Enterprise Manager (Oracle 7.3.x) then you can use the Data Manager.

Also you can run SQL*Loader from an Oracle Forms4.5 trigger/procedure using the Forms 'host' procedure (much as you would from SQL*Plus), this option would allow you to build your own interface if you *really* wanted to.
Nuff choices?
