Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / October 2006File colours changes after disc cleanup
I have just run disc cleanup now all my file colours have changed from black to blue text which is harder to read. Any ideas how I can change them back. System is working fine. Newer files since the clean up are still showing in Black type. Any help appreciated. Thanks Andy >I have just run disc cleanup now all my file colours have >changed from black [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Thanks > Andy Cleanup has compressed many of your files to save disk space. Compressed files are indicated by blue versus uncompressed files whose names appear in black. - Arnie The blue color shows that the file has been compressed. When you run "cleanup" it will compress files that haven't been used in a while. They can be uncompressed if need be by choosing Properties from a right-click on the folder containing compressed files and choose Advanced. Once there you can uncheck "compress contents to save disk space" and click OK. You will be asked if you want this to be applied to subfolders - answer accordingly. Or, alternateively, you can leave them alone as they take up a smaller space. If you haven't used them in a while no problem.

I am now happy as the files, as you suggest, have not been accessed in ages so, as you rightly say, they are the ones that have been compressed and "blued"; any files I have saved since are back in black. Best regards and thanks again. Andy > The blue color shows that the file has been compressed. When you run > "cleanup" it will compress files that haven't been used in a while.
