Why do some file names appear in blue?

[Guest]

Does anyone know why some file names appear in blue text?

Hi

They are compressed files. If you see any files that are green - they are
encrypted.

The file is compressed.

By design, WinXP automatically 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.

Those are the magical Blue Fairy files! BTW, she likes to compress them
due to lack of use to save you a bit of drive space. The Blue Fairy lives

The Blue Fairy in Disney's Pinocchio wore a see-through gown. Her ethereal
nature could use some compression
