#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main( )
{
printf("################################################################################");
printf("# Tool v1.2 #");
printf("# Copyright 2012 - 2013 #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("################################################################################");
printf("# Choose a option... #");
printf("# 1) Option 1 #");
printf("# 2) Option 2 #");
printf("# 3) Option 3 #");
printf("# 4) Option 4 #");
printf("# 5) Help #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("# #");
printf("################################################################################");
printf("# Choose: #");
printf("# <input here> #");
printf("################################################################################");
cin.get();
}

noticing that you are in a windows environment, I would say find a function that allows you to position the curser, or use an external library.

#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
int main()
{
int num;
HANDLE stdHandle;
CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO buffInfo;
buffInfo.dwCursorPosition.X = 20;
buffInfo.dwCursorPosition.Y = 20;
stdHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
std::cout << "Enter something: " << std::endl;
SetConsoleCursorPosition(stdHandle, buffInfo.dwCursorPosition);
std::cin >> num;
std::cin.get();
}

You will get more help, on windows specific topics, if you move your topic to the the "windows" section.

from my opinion, instead trying to make this on console, why don't you try to make it on windows program?

Creating the program in a window sounds very hard to me. I will try that when I've more experience.
