Avoid tutorials (by kids for kids)
Read the Petzold + Richter + Adv. Win32 Group (news://nntp.aioe.org/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32)

And avoid Newcomer (newbie in Win32, knows MFC only...)

If you really need a simple starter that will guide you through the basics. You can read "Windows Programming from the Ground Up" by Herbert Schildt. It will be a good forerunner to Charles Petzold. I read Herb Schildt first and then Charles Petzold, and I really was able to understand what Petzold was talking very easily.

This is my favorite: Win32 Programming by Rector & Newcomer It is massive and goes through all the basic concepts down to the nuts and bolts about Win32 programming.

BTW: Newcomer has a website also with examples (although more related to MFC) here
