sst45jeff Posted May 17, 2006 CID Share Posted May 17, 2006 Anybody know how to change the color of the text that shows the name to the right of my folders in XP. I installed a internet program from Adobe to convert files to pdf on there website and it changed the color of the text that names all my folders to blue from black and i don't like it. Anybody else experience this or know where the setting is to change the folder text color ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

php Posted May 18, 2006 CID Share Posted May 18, 2006 By default, blue file/folder names are compressed files/folders, and black are standard. Unless you changed them yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right I did compress everything before I found out it was a bad idea. I just checked under the folders properties tab, advanced and the compress folder is checked. I confirmed the few black text folders I have are not compressed. Thanks now i know why and what can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
