Have wondered for a long time, never bothered to find out. Why are some
files listed in a blue font, others in a black font, in Windoze Explorer?
Thanks!

You cannot use Google (or any other Internet search engine), but "Windows"
qualifies to be "Windoze" by you? *grin*

Won't over-complicate things for you...

Short: They are compressed files, likely from a setting you have in place
and they are not used all that often so they have been automatically
compressed to save space.
