I am running Win XP and I have noticed that in all of my folders (files) that some of my files are in blue while the rest is in black.

For example, I have 'My Music' in list format: Going down the list it looks like this:

Alexander's Ragtime Band
Always on My Mind
American Pie - Don McLeon
Amnesia
And So it Goes

What is the significance of the blue font in XP folders?

I think I found the answer to this but I need confirmation
The Blue files are those that are cataloged on the Hard drive as compressed NTFS Files (Query..Compressed Temp (text) files? )
There are others in Green but these are encrypted (Again got no idea)Have none of these on my computer...
All I know about this is what's on this page and I've tried to make a guess as to what is what (I'm learning as well)

I will assume that compression is it.

Going through a few randomly selected blue and black files I find that under properties, advanced there is a box that one can check to compress files. The blue lettered files are checked for compression the black ones are not.

Once I uncheck compression they turn back to black.

thanks.

Cheers
