Use Mercurial with it’s, probably, best Windows Desktop client TortoiseHG.
If you would like online repository, you can use GoogleCode. For local, fast changes, or some experimental stuff you can use a local one, provided by Mercurial itself, like all standard Distributed revision control system.
If you want good information on the management of Mercurial in general and HG in like a client, you can have look on excelent article from Joel Spolsky:
Hg Init: a Mercurial tutorial
There are also other alteranatives, like Git, for example, but honestly, I find Mercurial much easier to manage and understand and much more suitable for simple personal projects than Git or any other. It perfectly combines, in my opinion, the power of distributed system (with probably less functionality than Git offers, but do you really need all of that functionality??) and simplicity of control, which is the main point on my opinion.
