Windows File Colors

XP File Colors

This is one of those simple things that I can never remember. Sometimes some of your files appear blue, they aren’t sad, this just means they are NTFS compressed. The green ones aren’t seasick, just encrypted.

To turn all this nonsense off, in Explorer click Tools and Folder Options… Click on the View tab. Checking/unchecking the third option from the bottom (Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color) will toggle these colors.
