Interestingly, I was just about to report what I think is the underlying
issue here myself... :)

I also run Vista x64, and I think the "problem" (which Stefan and the
other developers may not agree is a problem) is that TSVN only registers
a 64-bit context menu handler when installing on a Windows x64 system...

... while I believe that one actually wants to register BOTH 64-bit and
32-bit versions in this case. Why? Because when any 32-bit app calls,
say, the file open dialog, they are actually effectively using the
32-bit version of Windows Explorer that is still present in x64 Windows
- but since TSVN has not registered a 32-bit version, no 32-bit Windows
Explorer view has access to the shell extension (and the icon overlays
are also MIA).

Note that current versions of TCVS *do* appear to register both
versions, BTW.
