I guess I figured out the problem. The checkout option doesn't appear in "some" directorys. I tried it in c:\temp and it showed up. So what's the point? 

I created a folder named cvs. This one was planned to be the root of a cvs repository. Inside this cvs dir I didn't see the checkout option as mentioned before. But look here: if I rename the folder to anything but cvs it works! So, as a workaround, I renamed the folder to cvs_.

It seems that you cannot select a dir named cvs to be the root of a cvs repository. Is that true? Is this expected behavior?

Right clicking in an empty folder gives me the explorer's context menu but all I see is the main CVS entry containing Preferences, Help and About as subitems. CVSDiff, CVSUpdate and CVSCommit as shown in the website's screenshot are missing. This way I can't create a local workarea. What's wrong here? 
You do have a 'CVS Checkout' entry, right?
