    tmp files and stuff
    « on: May 06, 2009, 05:04:41 AM »
    hello

    i think i have a couple of problems.  here lately
    when i am using my computer i noticed that some of my files and stuff are blue instead of black, have i messed something up?
    and also, i read somewhere to type *.tmp,*.chk,~*.* in search box then delete everything it finds well the things it found does not look like tmp files to me (attached).
    i know you folks are busy, but if someone has the time this old man sure could use a little help, if you dont have time i understand.

    thanks harley

    Blue files indicate compressed files. It's by design.
