Causing problems with Vista ?
I had a long running problem with Windows Explorer closing down incessantly, and also other progs like Publisher, and in the end, having enhough, I formatted C: and reinstalled Vista and put everything else back on. It was only when I put Badges on that the trouble started again. Took it off, and its stopped again.
Which leads me to what conclusion ?

Hello Phil K,
At this time I'm do not find information about overlay icons in MSDN ( Microsoft Developer Network ) and do not know all features/bugs of overlays-icons under vista
And as result I'm do noy know how to fix this problem
But you may try new BETA versio 1.5.5. This version was good-work on my PC, but it may not work on your PC
This is a only first beta vesion with small support of Vista.
Please install in with Administrative Rights and please NOT in programm files and not on C:\ disk ( try on other disk, D:,E,F and so on)
You may download this version on russian version of this site:
