What should I try first, and can you give me some examples?

Say, how would I go about making a media player?
Uhuh, you say you are 100% newb but you want to make a media player already? If you want fast results, then you'd be better off going for C# or VB.NET.

If you want to learn a lot of aspects of programming then C++ can help you.
I don't know what you mean by "I just recently got a copy of C++", as C++ is just a language. You can download VC++ 2005 express edition and the PSDK (search the forums) for free.

You should start with some very basic programs, you can learn to do so here for example.
