I can't figure out why some of my filenames are coming up
Blue.... Any Ideas?

It means they are compacted, red means encrypted.

They are compressed files.

Close, but not right.
Blue = compressed files (they get that way from running disk cleanup)
Green = encrypted

As others have said: blue (light) = compressed, green = encrypted. But also
blue (dark) = Hot-tracking (whatever that might be). Of course if you don't
like these you can use Tweak UI to select your own if hot pink, teal, and
chartreuse seem to make more sense to you.

By design, WinXP automatically compresses files that do not get
used frequently, and, if you've left the default settings intact,
displays those files in blue.

If you wish to change this behavior, in Windows Explorer, click
Tools > Folder Options > View > Advanced settings: Show encrypted or
compressed NTFS files in color.
