I'm looking to see which compiler for C and C++ is best. I'm looking for one where you can access the include files easily for references.
Any suggestions?

the function of compilers is not to view headers, but to compile C++ into object code and then link it.
furthermore, if you want to see what's in a header, all you have to do is find the header, and open it in a text editor.

It appears what you want is a IDE. A compiler is just a program that turns your code into machine code.
From C for Dummies, 2nd Edition:

From C for Dummies, 2nd Edition:
Compile and link! Compiling is the process of transforming the instructions
in the text file into instructions the computer’s microprocessor can under
stand. The linking step is where the instructions are finally transformed into
a program file. (Again, your compiler may do this step automatically.)

If you mean an IDE, I would recommend Code::Blocks.

If you are in fact looking for an IDE, I would recommend Microsoft Visual 2008 C++ Express.
It has nice accessibility and is fairly good for beginners.

if you don't consider MSVC++Express to be noob-friendly, then how is Dev-Cpp/wxDev-Cpp any more noob-friendly?
