Ok I'm very new to this but generally a fast learner (taught myself HTML and Java within months) but I'm having the most basic of issues.

I used a program years ago when I first dabbled in programming, just to run this basic program:

-----
// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
------

just he bog standard first program. I'd write it, run it and see it... However these days I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express. I've written the program but can't find a feature ANYWHERE to actually RUN the program? I've read their help guides, scanned the net and can't seem to find anything that works and runs the program, showing me my text?

Can anybody help or point me in the direction of a program that isn't packed with bloatware? (This program seems to have ten billion things a beginner doesn't need and doesn't explain what half of it even is)

Thanks
