    Hello, with the latest Windows update 11 KB5053656, a strange ugly blue outline appears when selecting files. A bug or a trick? It looks terrible. Is there a way to disable it?

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks

    Deleting files in Win Explorer - lose highlight after each deletion?

    Is there a way to delete a highlighted file in Windows Explorer, and have the next file be highlighted, rather than outlined? When reviewing files for deletion, it would be nice if you could step through a directory, file by file, to delete files or not, one by one, using the Preview Pane to review each file. As it currently works for me, you can step up and down the file list using the up/down arrows, and each file becomes highlighted, but as soon as one is deleted, the following file becomes outlined, not highlighted, and it takes a click to highlight the file, or a up/down arrow, but that skips the outlined file in the process. You can select multiple highlighted files by holding down the Shift key while using the up/down arrows, but that's not quite the intended process. Can this be changed to have the next file be highlighted, following deletion of a highlighted file?

    Something strange just started to happen in file explorer

    This is very strange and if anyone has any ideas why it is happening and how to fix it I would appreciate it very much. It doesn't seem to be happening system wide, not a problem in my email program or as you can see on my desktop, only in file explorer. here are 2 screenshots one of a portion of my desktop and a portion of file explorer. As you can see all the tails in p's.y's etc. are cut off on file explorer but not on my desktop. - - - Updated - - -
    I've tried to follow your steps in this post but when I press win+s I don't get a cmd prompt. I get the following the top image below. some blue side wndow opens, however if I type in the search boc cmd I get the cmd prompt in the second image but I don't know if that is an elevated cmd prompt??? if it is a elevated cmd prompt I will continue and follow your steps. Thanks
