Hi

The blue files are compressed.

k,

not really a fix here but blue fonts usually means that the file or folder
is hidden. Nothing bad.

It is automatic. Windows NT --> 2000 ---> XP all do the compression
automatically.

Hi

You wouldn't have compressed those files. As Yves has already posted -
those files are compressed automatically.

Try update display driver.

Incorrect, for a non modified system, blue signifies the file is compressed.

 

[Bob I]

That won't change the fact the files have been compressed.

Try update display driver.

You're kidding, right?

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.
