If you have explored the core folders in Windows prior to this, you may have noticed a few examples are coloured: these are compressed as standard, meaning the same principles hold true for both. Whether you choose to do so or not is entirely your own preference. Changing the captions font color can enhance specific video sequences, and can also help if the onscreen texts font isnt as visible with certain colors. It should be noted also that encrypting the file will prompt Windows to offer to encrypt the entire folder. It is not possible to check both boxes, nor is it possible to change the specific colours they display in.
If you compressed it, then it will appear as blue.
Depending on the options checked, the file name should be coloured. Confirm your intent via the prompt, then close the windows that opened until you are back at the Explorer session.Ħ.
If you choose to encrypt the file, it would be prudent to back up the encryption key. Encryption results in a slightly larger file, so if space is at a premium, compression makes more sense. Choose either to compress the entity and save disk space, or to encrypt the file.
