Default When opening a file in Excel

I am new to Excel 2003. When you go to open a new document, using File and
Open, in the Open dialogue box some of the files are blue and some are black.
I have done a search using the help function but to no avail. Is it
something simple? Like which files you have recently opened?

Blue files and folders are 'compressed', a feature of the NTFS file system
to save disk space.
