Blue color in explorer

[PeEll Avaj]

In windows explorer, Details view, some of the files that
I am viewing show up with blue text, what does this
indicate about the file?

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.
