| 637024 | 2008-02-03 08:48:00 | Can anyone give an explanation as why the majority of files in My Documents, but not all, have decided to show in a blue font. And how can this be reversed to a black font? Austin1 |

| 637025 | 2008-02-03 08:56:00 | Welcome to PressF1. Are you using XP or Vista? The blue colour font of the file name indicates that it has been compressed to save space. Did you run Disk Cleanup recently? One of the options in that is to compressed old files to save space. |

And how can this be reversed to a black font? Austin1 Nothing to worry about. You can untick "compress drive to save disk space" in your drive peoperties if you want. |
