Where do you Enter C++ commands on a PC With Windows Vista?
The code needs to be written in plain text. Notepad is the most basic editor that comes with Windows, but I highly recommend you do *NOT* use Notepad. Either use an IDE, which is a development environment that provides such an editor, or a dedicated plain text editor. Look up plain text editor in Wikipedia for a big list. Notepad++, Cream for Vim, and PsPad have all been good free choices for me in the past. There's more really good choices though (like EditPad, UltraEdit, etc.).





You also need a compiler. The compiler converts your code into actual executables for the computer. See http://www.google.com/search? q=visual+c%2B%2B+express





Edit, I should note that there are more compilers for Windows. Visual C++ is one of them. Another well known compiler is gcc. The windows version is MingW.
Reply:Download Microsoft's latest Visual Studio C++ IDE.





It's free and works great.
