If someone has knowledge of a default C++ environment (I actually have close to no idea about what I'm talking about) available on the Internet, can he/she post a link?
At present, I use Visual C++ 2008 Express, and I find it incredibly clunky and useless. So, I'm looking for something along the lines of Notepad++ to program in C++ with. Unless I can program in C++ with Notepad++... Eh, I don't have much time to elaborate, at the moment.
Also: If I can use Notepad++ to program, would I need some a listfile/syntax file of sorts for highlightning, etc.?

Look up Dev-C++. I use that one when I don't want to mess with the crazy VS C++ enviroment.

lol, what parts are you calling "clunky" and "useless" btw?

@SF: Actually, it just takes forever to load. All I really need is highlighted syntax and a compiler.

@A_of-s_t: Looking into it. Thanks.

Dev-C++ is the best free one, IMO, and it fits what you want very nicely, I prefer to use Visual C++ 6.0 though, if you want to go in that direction, for simplicity's sake.

Dev C++ is exactly what you described
