I am an intermediate C++ programer (currently programmin in DOS). I am looking for a book to help me to learn Windows programming using C++. It would be helpful if the book didn't require any certain type of compiler or wizards. Thanks.

Search on Google (or Amazon.com) for the Windows API or MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes). There are quite a few tutorials on both subjects, or if you really want a book, you should be able to find some good suggestions. Anyway, just thought I would kinda point you in a general direction.
Away.
Based on your current experience, I highly recommend these books.
MFC:
Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++ by Richard M. Jones
Win32 API:
Programming Windows, The Definitive Guide to the Win32 API by Charles Petzold

Win32 API:

If you want one that works for various compilers, I may not recomment Petzold's book, as they seem to work on Microsoft's compiler, but there can be problems on other ones. Besides that, though, it's rather undisputably the best.

There's a book by borland on programming in windows, though it is pretty out of date. (atleast the one I saw, lol) Talks about Win3.1 programming. :\
