I've got a folder containing a bunch of ZIP files. When I view the list of
files in Windows Explorer, the name of the file (and attributes like "Size"
when viewed in Details view) are coloured blue in Explorer, some black.
Usually all files are coloured black when I view them in Explorer. This is
true in all the possible view styles (Thumbnail, List, etc).

I've tried working out why by looking at the properties of the files, but
they all look similar. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Alain

The blue files have been compressed.

=================================
As Gordon stated...
"The blue files have been compressed".

If you right click one of the blue files and go to...
Properties / General tab / Advanced button...
you will find a checkmark in the
"Compress contents to save disk space" box.

Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View, Show encrypted or
compressed NTFS files in color. Toggle to suite preference.
