Learning C++ IDE, not the language the IDE

I am trying to teach myself sufficient C++ to make changes to Torque or any other game engine software that I encounter. I am using Visual Studio C++ 2008 express edition. My C++ skills are coming along, but much to my surprise I am finding out that learning how to use the VS 2008 compiler is also difficult. When all I need to do is type the text in, compile and run, I am fine. When i start wanting to use breakpoints, watch windows, and anything more advanced, I quickly sink like a stone.

Does anyone know of any books that teach me the basics, not of C++, but of how to efficiently and effectively use the visual studio IDE?

When I look for these books on the web, it is almost impossible to tell without buying them if they are just one more C++ book, or if they will help get me rolling with the IDE.

Any help would be most appreciated.
