The order used to determine whether the cache process checks a certain
path is as follows:
1) path is in the 'include path' list
2) path is allowed by 'drive type'
3) path is not in the 'exclude path' list
if *one* of the three rules above evaluate to TRUE, the overlays for the
path are shown. If all three are FALSE, the overlay is not shown.
Which means: if you have the paths already in the 'include list', it
doesn't matter whether you've enable the drive types or not.

That looks like a bug. Are you maybe using multiple user sessions?
(i.e., multiple users logged on to the same machine)? In that case, you
could try a nightly build which has some improvements in that area.

Good idea.
