Moderators Andavari Posted November 5, 2005 Moderators Share Posted November 5, 2005 Yes, blue does mean compressed. And even if you de-compress them back into original state WinXP may or will again compress them if you don't access them for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 WinXP should compress files you haven't used for a while only if you use Disk Cleanup with Compress old files enabled (you can set how many days is "old"). Alternatively, at some point might you have moved the files into a compressed folder? See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;307987 re: this and more.
