Windows10 and Icon overlays

Post by danellis10 »

I'm running into issues where icon overlays for TortoiseSVN are not always reliable when explorer++ is not ran with admin privileges. For example, the Add and Modified icon overlays can be switched with OneDrive overlays. Uninstalling OneDrive %sysroot%\Syswow64\Onedrivesetup.exe -uninstall clears up the issue (or running as admin). It seems to be a problem with PCs that have been upgraded from Win7 to Win10 and not fresh installs, though this is very anecdotal (~5 PC sample size.)

I'm pretty sure this is more issues with OneDrive (like the blacklist you added for shell extensions) or with how some subtle changes in the shell APIs.

I've tried deleting icon caches and the like.

I may try looking at FindIconAPC in iShellBrowser.cpp to see if it returns different values under in each case for the call to SHGetFileInfo. If you have other suggestions to try and test this out, I'm open to help.
