Lots.
C++ has no inherent concept of pictures, so this is very much dependent on your operating system. What is it?

And when you say "display it without a window" what exactly do you mean, given that if you're using Windows XP everything has a window.
So you just want to display a picture with no border, etc?
Just today I made a "splash screen" class using SFML (http://sfml-dev.org )
With SFML 2.0, you can easily create a borderless window and draw an image to it.

You will need some SFML code on every computer you use it on. You can include this code with your actual programme so that there will be no problems.
You can show images using just the Windows API. It is much, much harder to do it that way.

I've no idea. I don't use windows, and if I did, I wouldn't do something like this using the windows API. That would take ages and require lots and lots of effort, and my code simply wouldn't be nearly as good as any of the freely available libraries such as the one linked to above.
Right now I'm using Ubuntu Linux. At work I usually use SUSE Linux. Sometimes I use freeBSD.
And whichever OS you use, the SFML code will work without any changes, apart from a recompile :D
