![]() It has been working very well for me until yesterday, when I encountered a problem. I have been using TortoiseGit for almost a full year now. Press Ctrl Shift Esc and restart "Windows Explorer" (Optionally restart computer)Īll git/svn overlay icons are now visible ! You may need to take ownership of the keys one by one and give your user full control if you receive an error while trying to delete the keys. Remove/delete all SkyDrive/OneDrive keys. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers Update: for Windows 8, the limit of icon overlays is 15. The solution provided by Chan is just a simple way to make 1TortoiseNormal rank higher when ordered among all the overlays, you can also rename the values by adding space(s) before 1TortoiseNormal, i.e., Skip the first two lines, and if 1TortoiseNormal and the other *Tortoise* values are not in the top 11 values, their icon overlays will not be shown. Regedit /e c:\icons.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers You can run the following command in a DOS prompt: Windows will only allow up to 11 icon overlay identifiers, arranged in alphanumeric order - if there are more than 11, these icons will not be displayed. The original forum is gone, but a good summary is supplied in the comments. I have no idea why wrapping it inside a double quote makes it work again. So what I did was rename the key 1TortoiseNormal to "1TortoiseNormal" etc. So I added the signs, close explorer.exe and hop it was good :) ![]() I understood the problem, seeing as Dropbox and it worked regedit there was the sign ( "") to Dropbox but not tortoise. ![]() ![]() Wrapping with "" all tortoise keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers I had the same problem and I got it to work by following instructions from a forum. ![]()
