Empty Project in Visual Studio Express 2012

I want to create an empty project in Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012, but somehow I don't see any template for that. I go to File->New Project and the "New Project" dialog box pops up. On the left side I click on "Visual C++" but the only subitem is "Windows Store" and there is no template for an empty project. I can only see templates for creating apps. Isn't it possible to create empty projects in the new version?

Empty Solution = Blank Solution?

File > New Project... > Templates > Other Project Types > Visual Studio Solutions > Blank Solution

You are probably trying to use Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8. Try using Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop. If you want to create a plain C++ project in Windows 8, this is the way to go. Confusing, I know.
