Icon Overlay Like SVN

Question

I want to make an icon overlay like here:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7484/How-to-overlay-an-icon-over-existing-shell-objects

I downloaded this source code and tried to build solution on visual studio 2010 but I get this error:

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: C:/Windows/SysWow64/regsvr32
File: f:/dd/vctools/vc7libs/ship/atlmfc/scr/atl/atls/atlbase.cpp

Expression: 0

For more information on how your program can cause an assertion failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.

(Press retry to debug the application)

Have anyone made this code work or there is another way to put an icon overlay maybe in java or c# or even on c++?

I want icon overlay like svn add icon overlays.

Thanks a lot.

You should build 64-bit shell extensions for a 64-bit system. The path "C:/Windows/SysWow64/regsvr32" indicates that you are registering a 32-bit DLL on a 64-bit system.
