Just open regedt32, go to
HKLM\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
and see how many other overlay handlers you have installed there.
And the first handler is skipped if there are 10 or more installed, not
nine. So you can have one other handler installed and you would still
get all TSVN overlays. But if you have two or more other handlers, then
TSVN won't load the 'unimportant' ones.
