Windows XP Files and Folder Names Appear in Blue
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Windows XP Tips |Why do Files and Folder names show up in blue instead of black in Windows XP?
If file names or folder names show up in blue, it is because file compression is enabled on that file or folder. This can cause some applications to not function properly when enabled.
The option is located when following these steps.
1. Right-click the file or folder and click PROPERTIES
2. Click ADVANCED
3. There is a check box for Compress contents to save disk space
