Actually, in the PSDK there seems to be a correlation between COM_NO_WINDOWS_H and idl files. It's not 100% but that may be just be because they don't ship all the idl files. Also, the COM_NO_WINDOWS_H #ifdef is not present in the idl file, suggesting that it is being added by midl.
Yes, this is correct.
Hmm, there must still be something more: for instance amvideo.h and wtypes.h are midl generated and yet they don't have this COM_NO_WINDOWS_H stuff.
Still, the 2003SP2 SDK has 231 header files generated from an Idl file, and only 44 of those are missing the COM_NO_WINDOWS_H section so it's a good first approximation. Could it depend on the imported idl files?
