Yes, as you said "usually", it is not "always". For example, FindFirst() and FindNext return OS dependent error code.

In my case, this is not something I want.

I want to handle "trivial errors" (e.g. ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, ERROR_NOT_READY, etc.) differ from "fatal errors".

Trivial errors will allow users to retry the failed operation.
