Console selected. Another question I have is why do I need stdafx.h?

You don't need stdafx.h, but that compiler is preset to expect
precompiled headers.
I'ld suggest disabling precompiled headers in the project settings
altogether.

Why?
Precompiled headers can speed up compilation times of even small projects by
a factor of 10 or more if you include large headers like windows.h.
For large projects it can mean compilation times of 10s of seconds vs tens
of minutes.
