Default Different colored lines in Folder contents (Detail View)

One note, these are not the same Compressed Folders as ZIP files. This is
an internal compression technique that the NTFS file system uses. XP will
create some folders, on an NTFS drive, with this capability enabled
automatically. The Windows\System32\dllcache folder is one example.

This may seem trivial, but why are some documents' entries
in blue and some black when I view the details of a
folder's contents?


Blue ones are compressed (usually folders). Black are not. You can get
more interesting colours yet if you encrypt some (not recommended!). If
it offends you, turn off 'show encrypted / compressed folders in
different colours' in folder options, view (Explorer window)
