Windows via C/C++

I would recommend "Programming Server-Side Applications for Windows 2000" by Jeffrey Richter and Jason D. Clark. Richter also wrote "Windows via C/C++", which was previously titled "Programming Applications for Windows 2000" (4th edition) or "Advanced Windows" (3rd and earlier editions). I realise these books are now very old (17 years old for "Windows via C/C++" and 25 years for "Programming Server-Side Applications") but really, the Windows API hasn't changed all that much in that time.

Hello, Windows via C/C++ by Jeffrey Richter is what you are looking for. Yes, it’s a little dated but it’s a a great book to start with.
