Ok, so I have some files that are in blue and some that are in black. What's
the difference? None are marked as read only.

Black is normal, blue is compressed and green is encrypted.
WinXP automatically compresses files that do not get used frequently. You can alter this if desired in Windows Explorer-Tools-Folder Options-View - "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP Windows - Internet Explorer http://dts-l.org/index.htm On Wed, 3 Oct 2007 20:33:00 -0700, in microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support, Karen wrote: Ok, so I have some files that are in blue and some that are in black.
