Only for the experts: I just played with the nice tool "Autoruns" by sysinternals [1]. It's available here: http://live.sysinternals.com/Files/ (download Autoruns.zip and simply unpack it into a dir) After starting it, click on the tab "Explorer". This will list all *explorer add-ons*. Under the heading "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers" it will list the entries Changed, Unchanged, Added. For each entry there is one line. Last column (image path) shows the responsible dll ( c:\program files\tortoisehg\tortoisehg.dll here). There is a checkbox for each of these. It can be disabled. Just be careful when using autoruns.exe in general. Disabling sensitive things can severely damage your system (for example disabling things in tab winlogon is probalby bound to get you into big trouble). "Hide Microsoft Entries" in the "Options" menu might be helpful here (hit F5 for refresh when changing that).
