Why do some file names display in blue type? They haven't
always been that way.
 
Bercause you have this turned on:

Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View | Display compressed files and folders with alternate color. The alternate color is #0000FF (Blue).
 
They are compressed folders/files. It's either an automatic thing where you
might have setup a drive as compressed and thus all subfolder and files get
compressed automatically too.

By design, Win2K automatically compresses files that do not get
used frequently, and, if you've left the default settings intact,
displays those files in blue.
