re: files and folders colour Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 6:55 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Spexx (1955 messages posted) Compressed files show up as blue in the explorer window. I think you get a similar thing with encrypted files as well, but I don't use that myself. There is a registry tweak for disabling NTFS file compression. In regedit, navigate to:- HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem Add a new DWORD value called NtfsDisableCompression and set it to 1. Also delete the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Compress Old Files This will not undo any file compressions that have already taken place, but will stop any more happening. Hope this helps. Cheers. Spexx. Written in response to: re: files and folders colour (Rajnish Patel: Friday, July 25, 2008 at 1:00 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
