    You should be okay if you go for the most basic Win32 application. Depending on what you're trying to do, you shouldn't need anything extra - the MFC/ATL/whatever isn't required.

    However, starting from scratch that way is prone to errors - I highly recommend you fire up the "Sample Browser" from the start menu and use the "Install Project" feature. If you look for it, theres an "EmptySample" sample that is the equivalent of using the AppWizard type stuff inside of VStudio.
