Except our stupid PC people have the systems so locked down you can't install Tortoise ...I have noticed that Tortoise has the same issue with windows and I guess the fix for TkCVS would also fix that.

I've also had good luck using Tortoise for VCS usage on Windows:

http://www.tortoisecvs.org/

It may be more configurable than TkCVS
