Hello Ajan, and welcome to Vista Forums.
Blue text usually indicates that the file, folder, or drive is compressed. Uncompressing it should return it to normal if this is the case.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Generally speaking, to change the font's color in Windows Explorer (and elsewhere in your system) you would right-click on your Desktop, and go to Personalize, Windows Color and Appearance, and on the Appearance screen select Advanced. On the Advanced page, open up the "Item" drop down menu and select the item that controls the Windows Explorer lists. I believe it's the last one, "Window" but it could be either "Menu," "Message Box," or "Selected Items." You'll have to try each one of them to see which one changes the folder you want. In any event, all you have to do is select the font color you want and press OK. Voila! You can pretty much change the font style, color, and size of just about everything in the system, you just have to experiment with them to see what exactly controls what. And if you don't like a change, you can always change it back and try again.

Hello Sue (aka: Imperfect1),
True, but you would have to have a Windows Classic scheme selected to be able to change the color.
