Robert Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 It means the files are compressed by Windows.Did you turn on file compression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooney Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I think it compresses them if you choose the "Compress old files" option when running disk cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoma Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) WHen you clean disk space and select "compress files" it automatically compresses those files(It doesnt delete them). If u didnt check each file or folder, to be compressed then it probally happened after u cleaned ur diskspace.But ....Blue = Compressed Edited April 10, 2007 by Shoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isnt any difference though in the file if its compressed or not right?Not really, but if you compress all your files the computer "supposidly" runs faster than if it wasnt. It saves DISK space, but not by a great margin. My video file that is 173mb, when compressed is 172mb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
