TortoiseSVN, delete icon overlays
To delete icon overlays you don't want from the registry.
- WARNING: always a good idea to save a backup of the registry first. At the very least, backup the are you are changing by right clicking on ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers and export
- to launch the registry editor: cmd > regedit
- search for ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
- or just go direct to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
- You will see the Tortoise entries
- delete entries that you feel are interfering with Tortoise (dropbox/onedrive etc.)
