The thing I wish more error messages did was tell me exactly which file was not found.

This is something really annoying about simple error codes. Sure they're lightweight but how the hell am I supposed to know the problem with my input when all the error information I get is "The parameter is incorrect"? I've actually had cases where I disassembled Windows system libraries to track down the exact validation that was failing.
