file names in blue on xp

[blinkmus]

why are some of the file names in winxp home written in blue instead of black?

Blue file names indicate Windows Update uninstall files (at least they do on mine). XP likes to distinguish between certain types of files.

They are compressed files, using the compressed filesystem property of NTFS.
