Weird Icon Problem

[JPS35]

Hi, folks, I hope this is the right forum for this; if not, I apologize.

I am having a weird problem that just started. When I save a file/document to a folder (such as a Word document to a personal folder or My Documents), the text name of the icons in that folder are two different colors. Some are black, while others are blue. They have always been black before, but now they aren't. How can I change the text/font back to black?

Thanks!

Files with blue names are ones that Windows XP has compressed. If you want to turn off compression for that folder, right-click on a blank space in the window, select "Properties", go to the General tab, and click the "Advanced..." button. You should see the option for compression there.

Thanks for the help! I will check this out in the morning when I get to my office!
