Re: Key Folder Titles in Local Disc C (in My Computer) Turned Blue?

Compressed NTFS files are displayed in blue.

Encrypted NTFS files are displayed in green.

If this option is selected in Folder Options...
Start | Run | Type: control folders | Click OK |
View tab | Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color

[[Specifies that the names of files you compress or encrypt on NTFS drives
appear in a color when you view them in a folder window. This does not
apply to folders you compress using ZIP compression utilities.]]

To uncompress files or folders.

1. Right-click the file or folder you want to uncompress and then click
Properties.

2. On the General tab, click the Advanced button.

3. UNSelect the Compress contents to save disk space check box and then
click OK.

4. In the Properties dialog box, click OK.

5. In Confirm Attribute Changes, select the option you want.

6. Click Apply, wait for the attributes to be applied (you'll see a window
with a guage) then click OK.
