I'm a huge fan of bzr and I'm glad they're working on tortoise for it, but currently it's WAY too slow to be useful. The icons are almost always incorrect and when I load a directory in explorer with a lot of branches it locks up my entire system for anywhere from 10 seconds to 2 minutes. I look forward to trying it again in the future, but for now I'd like to disable it.
Unfortunately I don't see it in add/remove programs and I can't find a way to disable it in the bazaar config directory. When I right click the icon in the task panel (by the clock) and choose "Exit Program" it just restarts moments later. I don't see it in the Services panel either. Is there any way to disable it?
I'm running Windows XP on the system in question.
I think you can do:
regsvr32 /u tbzrshellext_x86.dll
I also killed tbzrcachew.exe in memory, but since, like enobrev, I couldn't find it with AutoRuns, I will suppose it is the shell extension that runs this cache.
Will know for sure when I will reboot my computer...
I agree that currently these icons are slow, doesn't update in real time, and options in context menu are often limited. I hope all these points will improve in the future.
[EDIT] It works! No need to kill the cache too.
