Yes, if you are not afraid of using regedit. Start regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers delete the following subkeys: Changed Unchanged Added (you might export them to a .reg file before deleting, so you can re-add them in case you want to go back) Then logout/login or kill/restart all explorer.exe processes. This works for 0.3 and 0.4rc1, most likely for expected 0.4final too. As TK Soh said, 0.4 will have a feature to turn them off, but the above trick gives you the ultimate speed as it completely removes the TortoiseHG *overlay icon handler*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
