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.
