Different versions of Microsoft tools have
different menus, but there are similarities.
In Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition,
which is what I use, if you start Visual Studio, you will find a Tools menu,
Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt item. If you select that, a command shell
with environment variables defined for compiling with Microsoft Visual C++ will
open.
"Shell" is a generic computing term, not
limited to Windows, which refers to a command line interpreter that provides a
user-friendly "shell" to the operating system from which one can type commands
that the shell will interpret to execute operating system calls to load and
execute programs, copy files, and so on. The menus and mouse in a windowed
operating system are another way of executing the same operating system calls.

scons.
If you don't know what an "environment
variable" is, it's a generic computing term, not limited to Windows, which
refers to a name-value pair that is defined within a given shell. Programs can
access each value by its name. Environment variables are used to specify
configuration data for programs, e.g. the path(s) that the operating system uses
to search for executable files (PATH variable), the path(s) that the C compiler
uses to search for include files (INCLUDE variable), or path(s) that Csound uses
to search for opcodes to load (OPCODEDIR).
Hope this helps,
Mike
