Hi,

I believe for folders this means that they are compressed.

On individual files I'm not sure

Hi Lyle,

It just means they are compressed.

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.
