Folder's name font blue color

[zillah]

Some times when I browse the partition C I found font of some folders are blue, how can we change the color for the font ?

I am using windows XP SP2

Those folders are compressed folders. Unless they are folders that you specifically don't want compressed, I would leave them. If you do want to uncompress them:

-Right-click on the folder and select Properties

-Click on "Advanced" button

-Uncheck box next to "Compress contents to save disk space"

If you simply want to change the colour of the folders, download TweakUI from Microsoft here. Dig through the settings and you'll find an option to change the colours.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

as far as i know it's not possible to do this, because font colors are defined systemwide and can't easily changed if the program itself does not provide the necessary functionality.

Folder Options->View Tab, Uncheck "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color"

Done...

Bah... You misread my post... sorry about that...

You don't change the colour of the folder itself... you change the colour of the text beside the folder in TweakUI. A little self research could have found this.

TweakUI is something that should be installed on everyone's computer anyways...

You might not want compression enabled as it increases read time for files.
