Read the tutorials provided with the SDK or look at the larger number tutorials on the main webpage that also tell you how to setup irrlicht with a number of IDEs.

Ok, it tells me how but i'm using VC++ 2005 Express Edition and I downloaded DirectX 9 SDK and Windows Platform SDK, and I do not know how to link to a compiler zzz.

You won't get anything from Irrlicht without being able to compile your application. So learn C++ and using your compiler first, then try to go through the tutorials.

To get you started, if you open

[your Irrlicht install]\irrlicht\examples\BuildAllExamples.sln

then that'll open all of the examples in VC.

Knowing that ".sln" is a MSVC "solution" file is just one of the many, many things that you're going to have to learn if you want to achieve anything.

[sarcasm]However, trusting in any M$ app having a solution is pretty weird[/sarcasm]
