I created a new volume fron unallocated space. The volume seems to work fine.
However in windows explorer the font is blue, not black. For all other
volumes the font is black. Is this a problem? Why is the font blue? how can i
chabge it to black?
Thanks all.

In Windows Explorer a blue font is the default colour for a compressed file.

File compression is fine for files not normally accessed. If files regularly
accessed are compressed it will slow system performance.

Hi All,

I'd like to expand on the use of colored text in my exploreer files. I
have anumber of ebooks and mp3 files that I'd like to code on my PC and
thus my PPC through a sync. I'm hoping somebody can tell me how to
define a color for the text. For example I'd like red for those books I
have read or green for those ebooks or CDs I which to get.

Thanks
