What does it mean when the folder names display in blue font instead of
there original balck? Example: The file "My Pictures" will display
it's icon and underneath the icon is the folder name which now displays
"My Pictures" in blue. This has happened recently because these certain
folder names were black. Is this a bad thing and what makes this
happen? If it is a problem, how do you fix it? Even if am trying to
save a file ie..Save Picture as, some of the folder names are blue,
some are black. This has happened before but changed when I had to
clear and reload Windows after my system crashed. I am running XP Home
SP2 on a Compaq S4200NX. Please help, it will be appreciated.
By design, WinXP automatically compresses files that do not get
used frequently, and, if you've left the default settings intact,
displays those file names 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.
