Just to clarify, you installed dropbox, uninstalled TSVN and then
reinstalled TSVN so that dropbox gets first priority in the overlays?
This seems to be a recurring theme. What registry entry should people
look in to see how many overlays they have competing for space?
I think we're seeing an increase in apps which use overlays - recently
dropbox and carbonite have been mentioned, and MS Groove (whatever
that does, part of Office) also uses them.
