TortoiseSVN actions aren't appearing in the context menu after installing them

Using Windows 7 Ultimate on 64bits. Why isn't it showing? I can find tortoise svn in the start menu and when I launch it it says the application is a shell extension but it doesn't show.

I just installed this at work this morning and now I want to install it at home. Any help? Why won't it show? I have already rebooted my machine.

TortoiseSVN is a shell extension and not a regular desktop application like WinCVS. All commands are available from the Context menu. I suggest be first familiar with svn commands and how they work and then try to use the same commands through TortoiseSVN.

Did you reboot? You need to restart explorer.exe

Did you install the 64-bit version?

You need 64 bit TortoiseSVN on 64 bit Windows because otherwise, its Explorer won't "see" Tortoise.

The best thing is actually to install both to make sure Tortoise works in the folder views of 32-Bit applications like IDE's, too.

Note that x64 users can install both the 32 and 64-bit versions side by side. This will enable the TortoiseSVN features also for 32-bit applications.

If you get the TortoiseSVN specific commands when right-clicking a file or folder in Explorer, it works.
