"Windows can only show a limited number of Overlay Icons (15 total, 11 after what Windows uses). Programs like Office Groove, Dropbox, Mozy, Carbonite, etc, will hijack a bunch of the 11 possible overlay icons (boy would it be nice if Microsoft upped the number of these as the number of applications that use them seem to increase and increase)..."

"You can see what overlays are set up, and change them (at your own risk) in the registry here:"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

SVN Icon Overlays


















SVN Tortoise Settings


















TortoiseSVN identified 22 installed overlays in my registry.



















Tips:


Run Regedit > Ctrl + F > Search for "ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers"

Use Autoruns for Windows - Windows Sysinternals

Use leading space characters to move Tortoise up in priority. Note that GoogleDrive is using two leading spaces.

When editing the Registry press the F5 key to refresh the displayed order of the overlays.

Use the Task Manger to end and restart the explorer.exe process (it's way faster than restarting windows).

End explorer.exe process

Start Task Manager > Select explorer.exe > Right Click > End Process



Start explorer.exe process




Enter explorer > Ok




That's It !
