I've noticed but never understood why, when you browse, certain files listed in a folder can sometimes be listed in black and others in blue.

Does anyone know the answer to this mistery?

Black = Normal file
Blue = Compressed file (Smaller but takes a tad longer to run)

Hi again,

I've looked at the properties for two of these files and sure enough one is checked off for compression while the other is not. The thing is I never made these settings. Is there something that triggers this?
