No, I already had TSVN installed and I then installed Dropbox. After that the majority of TSVN overlays don't work. Above I list the ones that do work. So clearly it doesn't go be the ones installed first are the ones that work. At least not on Win 7 RTM 64-bit that is not what I am seeing.

It is above in the email, but I will repeat it here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

Agreed. There should be a call to MS to increase this limit.
