Files Turning Blue

[Dave]

Looking at explorer some of my files have turned to a blue
font rather than the normal black. What does this mean?

From a previous post: B. Chambers

By design, WinXP 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.
