When using windows explorer to check my updates for
windows some files are blue text and others are black
text. What does this mean? Thanks

Files in blue are compressed to save hard drive space.

Greetings --

By design, WinXP compresses files that do not get used frequently,
and, if you've left the default settings intact, displays those files
in blue.

In Windows Explorer, Tools > Folder Options > View > Advanced
settings: Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.
