I am testing. It looks like /i does not work. But maybe /f or /fm. I will
try on.
In the meantime helps doubleclicking on the reg file I sent earlyer. (Of
course only as an administrator.)

This are CLSID's of TortoiseOverlays. The default value of the sub key
"InProcServer32" is the path of the TortoiseOverlays.dll.
When this key is not present (in HKCU or HKLM), the dll is not found and no
Icons are shown. (The explorer can not look up the GUID of the registered
TortoiseOverlays handler. When the key is present in bought sections, the
one in HKCU is used.)
I do not know why there are keys in HKCU and HKLM on your machine. It looks
like you have installed TortoiseOverlays several times. Once it was
per-machine and once per-user. (I doubt that a developpers machine is
clean. Mine is not.) ;-)
