As far as I know, the "official" namecoin ist at the moment only a command-line tool. Thus you have to manually open a command-prompt and then use commands like "namecoind getinfo" , "namcoind getaccountaddress" or "namecoind sendtoaddress". There is work on a Qt-UI (namecoin-qt by snailbrain), but I don't know if / where Windows binaries are available for it yet.
