SUMMARY

In MSDN, the following condition is listed as causing IConsole2::Expand to return "E_FAIL":

The item specified by hItem is already in the state specified by bExpand.

hItem is the handle to the item to expand; bExpand specifies whether to expand or collapse the item. TRUE expands the item. FALSE collapses the item.

However, IConsole2::Expand returns "S_OK" even if the item is already in the state that is specified by bExpand.
