    Dev-C++ is a great free IDE that comes with gcc and everything you need to compile & run programs.

    However Microsoft have also just released Visual C++ 2005 Express which is free if you download and register it within the next year. I was using Dev-C++ and it worked great, but I'm just more used to the layout and keyboard shortcuts of Visual Studio so I went with 2005 Express, and it's very good. My only grumble is that it doesnt come with a profiler.
