There Be HRESULTs Here
I've often found that searching for and browsing through the various standard HRESULT error codes can be quite painful as they are spread through many different header files. To make my life easier I've written a tool to grovel through all the header files in the platform sdk and pull out the various HRESULT values, their #define symbol, and the short description (if there is one).
All the HRESULTs that have been found (and had fairly standard formatting) are now available to you, the reader, in these handy tables organized by facility.

About joshpoley
Josh Poley has been a software tester (SDET) at Microsoft since 1998. He initially worked on the very first version of the Passport authentication service (currently called Windows Live ID). Then, in the spring of 2000, Josh moved over and joined a small handful of people who were starting to work on a project code-named Xbox. His initial responsibilities covered various pieces of the low level operating system (file systems, peripheral communication, etc.). Shortly after the Xbox game console launched in 2001, Josh took over as lead of the Kernel Test Team and remained in charge of validating the core operating system throughout the development and launch of the Xbox 360. Then, in the spring of 2007, Josh joined the Zune group as a Test Architect, where he helped solve various problems across the four main test teams in the organization. After a year in Zune, Josh went back to Xbox to help solve some more hard problems there.
