A quick solution would be to download (it's completely free) sqldeveloper from http://otn.oracle.com

Oracle10g XE is completely graphical, but then you would need to start all over again.
Oracle has always made a strong distinction between database and front-end.
The database comes with a swiss knife called 'sql*plus'. There is also a browser based isql*plus nowadays.
IMO, using a GUI will learn you to hit buttons. It will not learn you the product or make you UNDERSTAND the product.

I would recommend reading the 'Getting Started Manual' and the '2 Days DBA' at http://tahiti.oracle.com before you start creating havoc, or become a pest on this forum.

Oracle provided executables are typically in %ORACLE_HOME%\bin. %ORACLE_HOME% for you is c:\oracle\product\10.1.0
