ok, so now we know that d:\Web is a working copy and that
c:\Repository is not.
And we know that you are accessing the repository via subversions
stand-alone server svnserve that is running on your workstation
(svn://localhost).

You wrote earlier:

Do you mean that they look alike when viewed with windows explorer, or
do you refere to the folder structure stored in the repository (as
viewed by TSVNs repo browser)?
I ask because if c:\Repository looks like d:\Web on file system level,
c:\Repository can't be your repository because neither a BDB nor a
FSFS repo look like a working copy.

By the way: you may have noticed, that I have reordered the sequence
of messages. I did that because I aways get totally confused who wrote
what - and in response to what - when I try to read a mixed
top-posted/interleved message like yours.
