Does anyone have any information on game programming for windows using C++ to create the actual window, and everything.

Well, that's a pretty big topic there. I guess getting the DX9 SDK would be your first step.

I must admit I started my windows programming here - winprog. Very good tutorials there!

nehe.gamedev.net is what introduced me to building a Win32 application. I would recommend going through his tutorials.

Most tuturials use raw Win32 for initialising D3D that I've seeen. They only do a very small amount of Windows stuff though since D3D lets you mostly forget that you are in Windows.

Are you wanting to use D3D/DDraw, or actually write a game just using Windows functions - which would then be a proper Windows app?
