Depends on the compiler.

OK, let's say I have a Windows Compiler, with the program Borland C++ 5.0. Will it produce Windows Apps ?

The compiler will compile your C++ code for windows, yes.
But because C++ is a cross platform language, you could write a simple windows program, give the source to someone with a LInux, *BSD, etc compiler and they could use it. This is as long as you dont depend too much on windows APIs (like Direct 3D).
