    I've had that happen also. I thought it was because those files had been recently edited or something, but not 100% sure.

    http://www.solution1949.com/673/001/64523.html Seems to concur they are compressed. Check the date on them, older files are usually compressed first. On the 'View' Tab of 'Folder Options' you can choose to not show these files in color.

    might be caused if you have disk cleanup automatically scheduled and the "compress old files" option checked.
