Windows Explorer Text Color
Files listed in Windows Explorer are for the most part in black text, but I
have noticed a lot of entries in blue text which I hadn't noticed before....Why are some files black and some files blue (in the same folder)? -- Thanks for the help! Janet

They are compressed, as part of the Disk Cleanup utility that runs on
regular schedule. Compression simply means a string of characters is replaced by a unique/shorter symbol. Cat, Hat, Rat & Sat become C~, H~, R~ & S~. The result is smaller sized files that are decompressed when called on. Compression is done on files that have not been recently used. XP marks files with a time stamp the last time they were accessed. This is why some files are compressed and others are not. "Janetb" wrote in message ...
