Hi: Yesterday I downloaded a security patch from MS; the
Exe file name was in black font. After installation I
discovered a folder $NtUninstallKB823980$ in my Windows
Folder. This new folder and its subfolders and files are
all titled in blue. How did this happen? Thanks. Mag
 
If the color scheme has not been changed from default, then "blue" means the
file or folder is compressed, "green" means the file or folder is encrypted,
of course "black" means this is a normal file or folder.
 
Thanks for the info. Forgot the option under Folder Views
that references the colors. (too many options, too little
brain power!) Take care. Mag
