Greetings all!

I was just told by a co-worker that you can save an excel spreadsheet in
some manner so that when you are opening it back up, the name will appear in
the directory in a different color amongst all the other files, other than
the automatic black. I am running 2003 w/ XP Pro.

This would be very helpful when looking for a specific file among hundreds
of other files.

I have done other shortcuts to make files/spreadsheets stand out, such as
adding a "1" in front of the name so that it appears at or near the top etc,
but having a different color would also be a great little trick.

Does anyone know if this is possilbe, and how it is done?

Thanks for your anticipated help!

I've never seen that feature.

But there is an option to show encrypted or compressed files in a different
color. (I use winxp home.)
