Blue fonts on all listings on Storage Drive

D

I'm running XP SP2 on an AMD64 machine. I have two IDE drives, 1 primary 40 gig that houses the OS, the other designated "Storage" letter D, an 80 gig Samsung, which holds program installations and general storage. When I view the drives through My Computer all of the listings for the Storage drive are listed in blue fonts, while everything in the C drive is listed in black.

I've never seen this before and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Everything seems to work fine, it just seems a bit odd.

Any ideas?
 
Usually a blue font designates the files/folders as compressed. Is it possible you have the drive set to be compressed? You can right click and look at the advanced properties to find out.
 
I don't have the machine in front of me but I think that is probably it. Is it best performance-wise to have compression enabled or disabled? Storage space is not a problem in my case.
 
In my opinion, it is better to run without compression if you don't need to save the space. Compression adds overhead to every disk transaction and could make data recovery difficult if you had a system failure (just my opinion though).
