The blue ones are the ones that have been encrypted/compressed using NTFS. The black ones are not.

I'm guessing that what you're asking is "Why are some of the files and folders in my drives showing a blue highlight while others are plain black? I've got Windows XP."
Well, the blue highlighted folders and files mean that they have "links" associated with them, while the plain black ones are stand alones.
Please do make an effort to improve your Communication Skills if you want to make your career in IT.

There are two type of file systems supported by XP
1. NTFS
2. FAT32
You are using NTFS and blue ones are either encypted or compressed folders.
Rest are Normal.

as they said NTFS, and FAT, and by the way its not something important for the user to know which is encrypted in NTFS and which is not, so if u want them to appear all the same
go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View --> Show encrypted NTFS files in color
uncheck this one
