Tortoise SVN Color Icons are not Shown in Windows 7 [Solved]

Assuming you have installed Tortoise SVN Client,and you have exported the project from SVN Server to your desktop and finally checked out them inorder to synch with Repository.

One thing you might have noticed is, it is not showing any colored icon to distinguished whether it is synchronised or non-synchronised with svn server.





If you are facing the problem.Here goes the solution.

1.Launch Registry Editor

open run prompt and type regedit. Hit Enter




2.Navigate to the below path

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

and Delete all unnecessary keys like
  • TortoiseLocked
  • TortoiseReadOnly
  • Windows Offline Files
  • SharingPrivate.
  • Enhanced Storage Shell






3.Reboot your system. Now you will get the colored icons in your folders.

Note:Please take the backup of the registry before you modify them.As it may give you trouble if u delete wrong keys

If you find some other ways,feel free to share them here.
