If the overlays appear, then we know at least that the shell extension
was installed and registered for that user too.

Does that mean that just some TSVN menu entries don't show up? Or are
_no_ TSVN entries shown at all? If you see e.g. the 'Checkout' entry on
versioned folders (the entries for unversioned folders) then this might
have something to do with SUBST'ed drives.
SUBST'ed drives are directories for which you've assigned a drive
letter, e.g. C:\folder\myworkingcopy can be accessed through H:\ (H:\
points to C:\folder\myworkingcopy).

Honestly, I don't have a lot of ideas here. That has never happened
before so we might need some time to figure out what's wrong.

- the user configs are located under %APPDATA%\Subversion. Delete that
folder and try again (it will be created again when you next start TSVN,
e.g. if you show the settings dialog).
- Delete all registry keys under HKCU\Software\TortoiseSVN. Maybe
there's something wrong with those too from a previous installation.
- Does that user have the rights to _read_ the registry entries in HKLM?
For example, sometimes 'guest' users are denied those rights by the
Admin (I admit, I don't understand why _reading_ is permitted, but some
Admins still do!)
