I've checked my TortoiseHG settings and it's set to show the folder icons showing the status of the files, but I don't see them. I'm running Windows 7, does anyone know what could be the problem?
I had a similar issue with Overlay icons being removed after installing TortoiseHg. The registry icons in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers were ok but still no icons where showing.
I found out that the icon paths in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TortoiseOverlays for some reason where looking in the folder CommonFiles\TortoiseOverlays\Icons\MUFWin7 which did not exist.
I don't know how this happened or how this folder was deleted(if it ever existed) but by changing that path I solved the issue.
