Files Shown In Blue Font In Explorer

[Leith Friend]

Hi

Can anyone give me some clue as to why, when Explorer is
open, some of the files in the list are shown in a blue
font and the rest are the ordinary black colour ?

The blue files are compressed to save disk space. While this does free up
some space, it also slows down access to these files.

You can uncompress them by right-clicking on the files, selecting
"Properties" and clicking the "Advanced" button, should you wish to.
