Of course it depends on your needs.
The simplest one is the
Win32 Console Application
but then you have '
no windows on Windows
' :-).
If you need a
GUI[
^] the you have to go with
Win32 Project
or
MFC Application
. Starting with
MFC
is somehow simpler (you may find useful info at MSDN:
"Creating an MFC Application"[
^]. You may also find many tutorials available on the web.
Since you are just starting, you may safely ignore, for the moment, the other project types.
