Associating with Window$ explorer won't do a thing for you.
I recommend taking a look at a site for beginners which will get you started.
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/9818/win32tut/index.html is a fairly nice tutorial which guides you through getting started and some files you will find useful. (The author has another tutorial at a different location but he doesn't use Dev-C++ in it)
You will have to download a copy of the Window$ SDK to the best of my knowledge.
In case his site goes away here are links to the platform SDK help files (WinAPI docs)
From a Univ. of Virginia:
ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/lcc-win32/win32hlp.exe
Or from Micro$oft:

Good luck.
