I want to go the route that will give me a good understanding of the basics. I used Visual Studio a few years ago with Visual Basic so know what it is about, but would rather start at the basics rather than straight with a GUI interface a la Visual Studio.
So for and IDE which would be a good one to go for.

Hehe trust me, VC++ isn't anything like the drag-and-drop-IDE that VB is
You've got absolutely no drag-and-drop functionality, you'll have to code everything.
If you click the "New Project" icon, make sure you select "Win32 Console Application", click OK and on the next window select "console application" and check "Empty project". Click finish, go to the solution explorer, right-click "Source files" and add a main.cpp file to it. This will give you an empty file in which you can put your code.
