Define "C++ programming/coding utility"?

A compiler? Can get those for free easily. Borland have one for free, google for the 'borland command line tools'. It can do about anything you can do in a full featured commercial development package, although GUI design is a pain since you have to do it in code rather than by dragging buttons etc.

If you just want a decent programmers editor, ConText is very nice. Syntax highlighting, parenthesis matching and so on. Google for it.

Or there are Emacs and Vi versions for windows. If you have to ask what those are, stay away from Vi like the plague, and go for Emacs.
