See an example here: top-password.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/… So unless you changed folder options, it should be green. Check: Click Start, and then click Control Panel. 2. Click Appearance and Themes, and then click Folder Options. 3. On the View tab, see if "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" check box is checked (it should be). | |
