The problem seems to follow my domain account in strange ways. It is as if the shell overlay icons are "roaming." I have not tried logging into another machine with my domain account to see if the overlay icons magically show up there too. > No other account have ever seen the overlay icons or THG context menu. When installed, the THG context menu (and overlay icons) shows up everywhere (I installed it for all users). When uninstalled, only the domain account has the problem on the DESKTOP. However, a LOCAL account that MAPS the REMOTE home directory of the domain account onto a drive (like Z:\) will start seeing the overlay icons on the "My Documents" folder of that account too. However, the "Z:\" shows no overlay icons and NOR does the "\\hiro\HOME\My Documents" version of the folder (see images attached to recent post). > On account "local domain" registry key ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers occur > exactly one time, which is below HKLM.

I've had THG 0.5 installed for a *WHILE*. The problem started after the most recent Windows Update (a critical security update from 10/23 or 10/24) that required a restart. > You have manually deleted TortoiseOverlay.dll from CommonFiles without > uninstalling it, but after you removed all keys in the registry which > matched a search for "tortoise". Yes. And then I did all of the troubleshooting procedures described above (install 0.4/uninstall 0.4/install 0.5/etc.). > The subkeys you mention, Mozy, MacDrive, offline files - are they > normally active, i.e. do you have some other overlay icons on your > desktop?

NONE of those overlays should EVER show up on my Desktop (except for maybe Mozy), and so I don't think that they got pointed to the wrong spot. Remember that there are *NO* TortoiseOverlays icons in the C:\PF\CF\TortoiseOverlays directory (in fact, that directory is gone entirely). > Have you tried to install only TortoiseOverlays?

Though once upon a time I may have tried installing TortoiseSVN, but not anytime recently (and definitely not right now -- there is nothing that starts with "Tortoise" in my Add/Remove Programs).
