File names

[Guest]

Could you tell me how come some of the file names in an open folder in the
classic view some of the file names are blue and some are black? I know it is
something very simple?
Thanks Frank

Blue files are compressed.

FIle names that show up in Blue have been compressed and those that are
black have not.

The color means that the files are compressed. Take a look at the following
