I think there's a setting to "Automatically compress all files older
than..." If you search Windows Help for "compress," you'll probably learn
more. If not, you can ask in a Windows newsgroup.

Thanks for the reply. i dont' know how to encrypt so i suppose that the
files are compressed. I do a disk cleanup on a regular basis, during
which i
"compress old files". Still not all of my old files turn blue. I tried
to
use Help, but could not figure out what to look for (blue files was not
correct). Anything else you can pass along would be greatly appreciated.
Thnkss.

i have noticed that within file folders, some of my word docs are
colored
"black" and some are "blue". The reason appears to be time - the
"blue"
files are older than the "black" files. i cannot figure out just
exactly
how
old a file has to be to turn "blue". How can i adjust this so that
files
turn blue after a certain amount of time? thanks.
