After using Disk Cleanup Filenames turned Blue
Hello,
In an attempt to free up some space on my computer, I used Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Cleanup. Now some of my files (in all folders) are blue instad of black. Other file names remain black. Any clues? Thanks |

If you don't like seeing the different color, you can change that option from Folder OptionsView. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"

Other file names remain black. Any clues? Thanks When you did Disk Cleanup, you left the default to compress old files. The blue files are compressed as a result of that choice you made. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

Angie - On 09/28/2009, Bob I wrote the following response which worked for me:
Go to Folder Options, View, and UNcheck the box labeled "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color."

Please note that this only changes the displayed color of the font, not
the underlying compression or encryption that has been applied. jejship wrote: Angie - On 09/28/2009, Bob I wrote the following response which worked for me: Go to Folder Options, View, and UNcheck the box labeled "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color."
