How to restore offline files overlay icon?
After system managers changed the samba server, I no longer have the overlay icon on the files which I flagged to be available offline. This is very annoying to me. How can I restore this utility? The syncing itself still seems to work; it is just that no icon appears. The overlay identifier in the registry window is still there and not empty; or in other words, the problem must be somewhere else. I have vista for business.

Hi, Please shut down all Explorer processes, delete the iconcache.db file, then restart Explorer. Rebuild the Icon Cache in Vista ========================== 1. Click Start, open Computer. 2. Click Organize on the Tool bar, and choose Folder and Search Options. 3. Then click the View tab, and check to select the Show hidden files and folders option, and click OK. 4. After that, enter the following directory: C:\Users\(Your User Name)\AppData\Local 5. Find the IconCache.db file, and rename it as IconCache.db.old. 6. Close the window, and restart the computer.

I'm having the same problem on windows 7 enterprise. Rebuilding the icon cache did not work, overlay identifier in the registry seems all right. Might have to do with TortoiseSVN being installed. A colleage noticed his offline files icons disappearing after that.
