Well I guess my first question is what exactly are you trying to do with it? Are you writing scripts for execution on a Windows XP/2000/2003 environment or are you planning on coding applications to run on those platforms?
and work currently as a network admin on Cisco equipment, and was thinking of trying to teach myself how to write some stuff for Windows.
From your statement it sounds like you are looking more into admin stuff and not application based. The two major things I suggest are learning vbscript and powershell. Both are scripting languages and both are free as long as you have a txt editor (notepad anyone?)
Microsoft VBScripting Center and
Microsoft Powershell Scripting center
