It's hard to make recommendations on next steps when we don't know which ones you've dealt with.

If you want to learn how to program games, i would recommend to start with XNA(Because you know C#)
XNA is a very nice library to start in and getting results fast. Although i didn't try any other api's for C# i know you will like this. It's free and there's a lot of resources and support for it. You can publish for free on PC and have to get a Xbox live member subscription to develop for the Xbox.
This is where i started out after i did some hello worlds and calculator tutorials in C#. It really helped me understand oop and the language itself.

After that i created a pretty nice, but simple, Arkanoid game and hopped on to a tower defense tutorial.

MS app hub can supply you with loads of source code and tutorials.

I have done nothing in terms of creating programs, all I have done is learn what to do, via online and free books. And I am unsure about whether to start off by making games, as I am not positive that I want to make games in the future, I just want to create programs for now.
Generally games get pretty complex, pretty quick.
Start with some command line apps:
Take input from the user, repeat it to them.
Take input from the user, tell them the length of the input.
Take input from the user, tell them if the input is a palindrome.
Take input from the user, repeat it to them backwards.
Take input from the user, spit out all of the letters (but no punctuation) in order.
Tell the user all the files in the current directory.
Hopefully these will be too easy, and you'll be back and I'll have thought of more by then

Thanks, this looks great, I will get started on it tomorrow (when I am more awake) and I will let you know how I get on
You could try a few of the ProjectEuler problems. I enjoyed them, and they're interesting algorithmic exercises.

I tried them in C++ and learned a lot about the C++ standard library, which I hadn't used much previously. I'd presume it could teach you similarly about certain aspects of C#.

Everyone needs to clone Tetris at some point in his or her career.
My first clone was in mIRC script and allowed people to play against each other online (complete with graphics). Later in C#.
