    Hey,

    My ex-roommate had this problem a while ago and said it still happens to him today:

    Sometimes his MS Office documents, when viewed in explorer, will have blue text for the filename instead of the very standard black. It hasn't caused any problems with loading, saving, and editing the docs, but personally I was just wondering where that came from and if there's any way to stop it?

    blue filenames are the way windows tells you the file is compressed.

    you can turn off automatic compression or you can change the color
