I had a look in the registry, and noticed that although the Tortoise 
overlays begin with 2 spaces (presumably in the hope that they are listed 
first alphabetically and therefore the ones used in preference to any 
others installed), it seems that Microsoft are also playing this game.

The OneDrive overlays have 5 spaces at the front of their name. Also, 
Google Drive overlays have 4 spaces.

I modified (via a Rename in the registry) my Tortoise overlays to have an 
extra 4 spaces (i.e. 6 in total) at the front of their name, and using Task 
Manager, restarted Windows Explorer. Fixed.

It would be nice if MS could fix this somehow by extending the number of 
possible overlays past 15. They say it would cause performance problems if 
they did, but that just sounds like a redesign is required to me.

In any case, it would be nice if the Tortoise project would consider 
increasing the number of spaces in front of their overlay key names in the 
registry. I suspect that when I upgrade Tortoise, I'll have to do this 
again...


On my system, OneDrive has 17 spaces. Nextcloud has 16 spaces. I'm guessing 
they are involved in a fight over who has the most - adding one more space 
each time one is updated.

I don't think it would help (much) to engage in that fight, at best 
Tortoise could win 50% (or in my case 33%) of the time.

Kind regards,
Daniel

OK - so I used the registry editor to remove the onedrive entries - and 
this allowed tortoise to work again. However next reboot and Microsoft 
tried to reinstall again and I had to disallow it. What I do not understand 
is that on another PC (which has Onedrive and more registry entries than 
the PC I am having issues with) works OK.
