RE: Problem with Icon overlays

I have my working copy on a network drive. I tried creating a working copy on my local machine and it works fine.

The problem is:
~I will be working on several large project and I need the overlays to work -I need to have my work on a backed up drive (my work pc is not backed up) to prevent loss of work.
~I also cannot commit my code until it is ready to test as it will cause interference problem with other people's code.

In short, is there any way to back up working copies or make the overlays work on a network drive?

* did you reboot after upgrading?
* is your working copy on a network share? If yes, the overlays won't
update properly for some shares - only default windows shares seem to work
* check the registry entries under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
  only 9 entries from TortoiseSVN should be listed there
(xTortoise<Status>) - if you have more entries from TSVN, delete them
and do a fresh install
* You might have to hit F5 in explorer to refresh the overlays
