RE: Tortoise SVN Context Menu not appearing Windows 8 64 bit

I did delete the whole folder and created a new one, but did Export and not
Checkout as that is what I did last time.

What is the difference?

I have ticked SVN Checkout, Update and Commit, but only SVN Checkout appears
on the menu when I right hand mouse click.

So you deleted the entire working copy folder, created a new empty folder
and did TSVN->Checkout into that empty folder?

When you checkout you should get a progress dialog listing all the files
being checked out into your local folder. Do you get that dialog?

So what is in the context menu now?

That is expected if you had previously asked for your username and password
to be saved. That is stored along with your settings, not in the working
copy.
