IBM has a book on Common User Access guidelines, informally known as the CUA book. It is included with Microsoft's Windows SDK, so I supposed implies some level of endorsement. The old 2.0 SDK document had a guidelines section, but the new CUA book is more comprehensive: it covers international issues more thoroughly, and is not Windows-centric. All Windows (and PM) interface designers also ought to read the Apple User Interface Guidelines book as well. It's well-written and exhibits a unity of purpose that is sometimes obscured by the IBMisms of CUA book.
