Blue Highlights? dont understand
Soon as i create a new document and save it, or download something new it appears in blue (See Piccy)
I dont understand why this is happening as i have not changed anything, and i have never come accross this before in the past.
Any ideas?

Re: Blue Highlights? dont understand
I THINK it means that the folders/files are being Encrypted or Compressed by NTFS.

Looks like files are compressed.
Right click the folder they're in, and select properties and see if compression is enabled

Re: Blue Highlights? dont understand
You could try enabling compression, then applying it. Then disabling compression and applying that. Hopefully, the new uncompressed setting would then stay applied to all new files.
However, I'm not sure if there are any pitfalls in compressing all the contents of the desktop folder, which is what would happen in the first instance.
Anyone care to comment?

Re: Blue Highlights? dont understand
Hmmm, I was going to suggest the poor taste filter, but that would highlight all mp3s in that folder...

No, I didn't mean to run with compression on all the time. If Windows is getting confused and compressing all new files in the Desktop folder, then enabling compression, then immediately disabling compression might cure this issue.
