In my opinion, it really depends what you want to do. VB is very easy to get right in to, and you can make very professional-looking applications with the greatest of ease and minimal amount of time. It is a great tool for rapid application development because of its interface with windows controls, which you can pretty much just drag and drop.
C++ is the better choice in my opinion if you want to go further with programming and learn other languages, because it is object-oriented, and is also the basis for several other languages. It may be frustrating, because, at first, all your programs will be in console. You need to be fairly comfortable with the language before you can make a GUI.
