I have another twist to add to this thread that many point to a solution.
For reference, this machine is called TEDPC, and the network domain is
ECE. My domain account is pavlict, but there is a local account that is
also pavlict. The ECE\pavlict profile on the TEDPC machine is **LOCAL**
(i.e, *not* roaming).
*) When I login with the domain account ECE\pavlict, the overlays show
up all over the Desktop. Old files have green checks, and new files have
red exclamation marks. They only show up on files (i.e., not folders),
but they do show up on files in Desktop subfolders. They do not show up
on C:\ and other local folders.
*) When I'm logged in with my domain account, my network home directory
\\hiro\HOME gets mounted on my Z:\ drive. My Desktop is *local*, but "My
Documents" are mapped to "Z:\My Documents". If I click on "My
Documents," I also see the overlay icons. However, if I go to
"\\hiro\HOME\My Documents", the overlay icons disappear.
*) When I login with my local TEDPC\pavlict account, no overlay icons
show up on that Desktop.
*) However, I JUST NOTICED that when I'm logged on with TEDPC\pavlict
and I MANUALLY mount my ECE\pavlict home directory on Z:\, THE OVERLAY
ICONS SHOW UP on "Z:\My Documents" but *NOT* on "\\hiro\HOME\My
Documents". That is, I'm logged in to the *LOCAL* account, but I'm
*MOUNTING* the domain directory, and the icons ONLY show up on "Z:\My
Documents" when it's invoked that way. **NOTE** that the local
TEDPC\pavlict "My Documents" folder is **NOT** pointing at the Z: drive.
That is, "Z:\My Documents" (which looks like "pavlict's Documents" when
viewing Z:\) shouldn't be a special folder at all.
And so the overlay icons are tied to the ECE\pavlict account somehow. It
seems like some aspect of the registry are roaming... perhaps...
Now to answer your questions...

Yes, I have searched. Additionally, I used the "listdlls" executable
(available from Microsoft's website) to show me all resident DLLs.
That's how I found TortoiseOverlays in the "Common Files" folder in the
first place -- listdlls showed it loaded.

I installed it from my ECE\pavlict account (which is an administrator on
that machine). If prompted, I would have selected that it was to be
installed for *everyone* on the machine. That is, I use it with both my
local TEDPC\pavlict account and my ECE\pavlict account, but I only
install it once.

See the two PNGs at:
http://www.tedpavlic.com/examples/tksoh/
On them you can see:
*) A Desktop file ("New Document.txt")
*) The "Z:\My Documents" network folder
*) The same "\\hiro\HOME\My Documents" network folder
The TEDPCpavlict.png is from the local account. You can see overlay
icons on the "Z:\My Documents" only.
The ECEpavlict.png is from the domain account. You can see the overlay
icons on both "Z:\My Documents" and the Desktop.
