I did some kind of file clean up on my Dell Precision PWS690 running
Windows
XP Professional and now some of my file names appear blue while
others are
still black. What does this mean and how do I restore them back to
black font?

OT Super Idiot

Perhaps cleaning your ears will do the trick! When did you last clear
the wax from your ears? City life with all the pollution can block
ears from time to time!

It means you compressed them. The way to change the colour back is
to turn compression off.

Or use the files; that uncompresses them until next time.

Typical comment from a New Yorker with a superiority complex and
showoff ego.

Go to Folder Options, View, and UNcheck the box labeled

Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color.

But the file names still remain blue. But so what?

Or, something's wrong with my copy of XP Pro. I opened a half dozen to test
this theory. Still blue.

Hmm, not sure; maybe it takes a Restart? YOu can also go to the
Properties for the file or files and untick the file compression line
under Advanced. Will that work?
