Recently I just noticed that some of my files' font is color blue wherein it's supposed to be in black. Since I am not that techie, here's where Google once again gave me the answer. :) Anyway, here's what it looks like:
I have read that it is due to data encryption of the file or due to the data compression feature of Windows to save up some space. Though it has not much noticeable effect on the affected files (except that, as you can see, it is BLUE), it kinda bugs me on some extent so I decided to fix it.
For those that are also quite annoyed on this aspect, here's a simple tutorial to fix this issue. Just to note, I am doing this on a specific hard disk and not just for a specific file/folder. But in any case, the procedure's just the same. :)
- Locate the file/folder (in my case its the whole hard drive) that you want to uncompress.
- Now, right-click the specific file/folder and click Properties.
- Search for a checkbox with a tagline of "Compress contents to save disk space". If there's a check, uncheck it and press OK/Apply.
- For files/folders: Right-click > Properties > General tab > Advanced
- If the filesize or content is kinda big, just wait for it to finish.
- Voila! Everythings all black now. :D Congratulations!
