C++ in Windows

Hello all,

I have always done some basic C++ programming in Linux, and all the programming I have done is for the programming courses I do in school (ie. the programs don't actually do anything). Now, I am ready to jump out and write programs that actually do something in Windows (such as modifying csv files, editing text files, changing file names, maybe automatic downloading all my blogs on xanga).

1. The problem is how do I compile things in Windows so that it actually run in Windows (so it can interact with my files and programs)?
2. Are there any libraries that let me modify csv files?
3. How do I get my program to interact with my webpages (it would be great if you can suggest some tutorials)?
4. Are there any libraries for editing file names and such?

Thank you in advance.
