I copied a repository (whole folder) from one computer to another and added the repository to the TortoiseHG workbench through File->Open Repository.

Everything works fine, except no overlay icons are showing in windows explorer in the directory of the copied repository (for whether the file has been modified, or it's up to date, etc). Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Thanks

I found the answer https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issue/3933/overlay-icons-not-showing-properly - see Shea Martin's reply near the bottom about windows only allowing 11 overlay icon registry entries
