Well, Sam's Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 days is just that: it assumes you know about C++ but nothing about Windows programming. I quite liked it.

Good luck!

Following books can be become very handy to learn Visual C++ or Windows Programming,

Programming Windows, Fifth Edition by Charles Petzold
MFC Programming From the Ground Up, 2nd Edition by Herbert Schildt
Professional MFC with Visual C++ 6 by Mike Blaszczak

And here are some insightful books for C++ (not Visual C++ or Windows Programming),

Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel
Effective C++ by Scott Meyers
More Effective C++ by Scott Meyers
And of course books from Bjarne Stroustrup himself!

My personal view is learning C before C++ is better idea.

Cheers,
