Office filenames in blue

[news.microsoft.com]

Hi!

Suddenly - after cleaning some cache etc. - Office started to show some of
my filenames in blue. This means that when I click "Open Office Document", I
get the normal list, but some of the documents (mostly old) er in blue
instead of the normal black.

Is this good or bad... can anybody help?

Regards, Henrik

Can you open those 'blue' files normally?
If so, then it is very likely those (mostly older) files have been
compressed by your housekeeping tool.
Maybe you used Disk Cleanup tool which happens to have that option:
"Compress old files". (The ones you haven't accessed in a while.)
It does that to conserve diskspace. Compressed files are (per default)
displayed in blue to indicate the fact they are compressed.
There is no harm. You can use those files just as if they were uncmpressed.
When you access them the system will automatically de-compress them for you.
