Q. When I boot my computer, it asks me to find TrayApp.msi for some sort of HP software I assume. I no longer have the disks for them so I cannot reinstall them in order to fix it. I was wondering how to eliminate items from my startup menu, I can view them by going to Run > MSINFO32 > Startup, but how do I remove items from this list?

Not all files are affected, and it seems that ANY file type can be affected. All the files open as normal and behave as normal so this blue text doesn't seem to have affected the file in any other ways, so it's more of a mystery than a problem (and it's beginning to annoy me now because I can't figure out what caused it). Any ideas about what may have caused this and how I can fix it?

A.  The files changed color because they were compressed to save disk space.  Files that are not used often are sometimes compressed automatically by Windows.  You can also opt to have any file/directory compressed whenever you want.  Accessing compressed files and directories may take a little longer than uncompressed files, but not much longer.  Also, don't go compressing everything
