+:guilabel:`Enable overlays:`
+ If checked, overlay icons are shown on folders and files in the
+ working directory (woking copy) of Mercurial repositories.
+ (Default: checked)
+
+:guilabel:`Local disks only:`
+ If checked, overlay icons are only shown for volumes on local disks, not
+ on network shares. Scanning for Mercurial repositories over the network
+ may result in high latency in the user interface of explorer. Check this
+ option if browsing network shares becomes too slow and/or you do not need
+ overlay icons on non-local volumes.
+ (Default: not checked)
+
+:guilabel:`Enabled Overlay Handlers:`
+ These settings allow to enable/disable of overlay handlers in the
+ shared TortoiseOverlays component. The TortoiseOverlays component is shared
+ by all Tortoises (TortoiseHg, TortoiseSVN, etc), so that Windows overlay
+ icon slots can be shared. The total number of overlay slots available on
+ Windows is fairly limited and depends on the exact Windows version used
+ and on what other programs are installed. For example, on a pristine install
+ of Windows 7, there are only 8 free overlay handler slots available.
+ This section allows to individually disable certain non-essential overlay
+ handlers, so that they do not use up an overlay handler slot.
+ Note that these settings affect ALL Tortoises per user (login).
+ Unchecking handlers that are not used by TortoiseHg (that is: Locked,
+ Readonly, Ignored, Deleted) is highly recommended, if you know that no
+ other Tortoises (e.g. TortoiseSVN) are installed. Make sure the "Added"
+ and "Unversioned" handlers are enabled (these are used by TortoiseHg).

+ Checkmark "Show Icon" to show the icon of the Overlay Icon Server in the

+ in the repository (files :file:`.hg\\dirstate` and :file:`.hg\\thgstatus`).

One can selectively disable overlay icons in a specific repository by
