Hi Nick,

=20

That situation sounds odd, having them appear in one half of explorer
but not the other.

=20

First off, have you rebooted since installing?  Explorer still requires
a restart (reboot or re-login or just kill and restart the explorer.exe
process) for some settings to take hold (e.g. changing overlay icons).

=20

On a x64 system there are two different Explorers each with their own
registry entries for icon overlays.  Most of the time you'll be seeing
Explorer x64, but some applications use Explorer x32 as a window within
the application (e.g. like CVS Suite Studio does).

=20

Explorer x64 registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlay
Identifiers

=20

Explorer x32 registry key:

HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shel
lIconOverlayIdentifiers

=20

If you only have Admin access for the day, you might consider renaming
the TCVS icon overlay registry entries rather than that of the other
software.  The reason is that other software will replace those renamed
entries over time (e.g. when an update is installed) and then you'll end
up with some or all of them not working again eventually.  I've had
success putting a couple 0's in front of the name (e.g. "00
TortoiseCVS0").  Tortoise overlays still appear, and they don't degrade
over time like it used to with the previous advice of renaming the
others to fall lower in the list.  Note that this isn't a rigorously
tested method, but I've just been using it for some time myself and it
seems to work well.

Subject: [TortoiseCVS] Different icon overlay problem

=20

I installed Tortoise CVS v1.12.5 on a Win7 x64 system. I had admin
privileges for the day only (corporate system), so I prefaced the
registry keys for the overlays I don't use with z_. When I open a folder
connected to the CVS repository I can see the CVS overlays for the
folder and subfolders in the explorer view to the left, but nothing
shows up on the files or subfolders in the folder view.

=20

I found plenty of guidance on Google for renaming the registry keys, but
I can't find anything on the icons not showing up on the files. Any
ideas?
