"Correct" isn't the right word. They are shown in blue because they
are compressed, probably because you recently did a Disk Cleanup, and
left the default to compress old files. The blue files are compressed
as a result of that choice you made.

Uncompress them, if you don't want them compressed.

Got the following explanation from a different NG and it may help others:
By design, WinXP automatically compresses files that do not get used
frequently, and, if you've left the default settings intact, displays those
files in blue. Encrypted files are displayed in green
http://www.winxptutor.com/filecolor.htm
If you wish to change this behavior, in Windows Explorer, click Tools >
Folder Options > View > Advanced settings
UNcheck "Show encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color".
