My Music Files: Some Are Blue, Some Are Black??

WhoDoYouThink · 01-29-2006, 06:33 PM

Just recently I noticed a change in my music folder. Originally all the files were labeled in a black (standard) color. Now...some are blue! What the heck? They are all mp3s and play fine in a wide variety of players.

But how do I get them all back to the color black??

The bluse ones have been compressed by the OS. If you open the folder, go to Tools-Folder Options-View Tab ... In the bottom pane, scroll down and you'll see a check box "Show Encrypted and Compressed NTFS Files in Color". You can un-check it here.
