1. Your monitor is fading.
2. You forgot to remove your shades.

NTFS file system has the option to compress old files. You can disable it. Most
of us do. Just adds a small drag to the system as well as making it more difficult
to recover them if you have a crash. For most users, it doesn't save that much space
anyway.. Use XP's help topics for "compress old files"...

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.
