What kind of instruction and software are needed to learn and do useful

programming using C+, C++ ?

There is nothing like C+.
A good tutorial: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

I would like to access and use the windows graphics environment.

Free: DevC++ (core c++, that black command line window) + WxWidgets
(for graphical user interfaces)

Commercial: Microsoft Visual Studio version 6.0 or higher (not
available from microsoft, try ebay). Considering that you are a
beginner, Version 6.0 (alongwith latest service pack, freely
downloadable from microsoft website) is ok though advanced users prefer
Visual Studio 2005.

Hope that helps!

Free version of Microsoft's latest compiler with IDE here:

To the OP. You will need to learn command line programming before you do
graphics. When ready for graphics, download the Platform SDK. A link to
instructions for doing so is given in the Getting Started window when you
open up the program.

It’s a completely nonsensical process.
