Blue titles in My Documents

[Lindsey]

I don't know why this is confusing me so much, but it
just started happening.
Certain document & picture titles are blue when I view
their icon in My Documents.
Why does it do this? It just started a few days ago.

this usually means the files have been compressed. right click the
file or drive and go to properties to see the options for that.

Greetings --

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.
