What kind of help for Windows XP can I get?

Blue Files and Help For Windows XP

Computer maintenance tips: Here is some help for Windows XP. Okay, we all know that sudden changes to a PC's settings may be a sign that something's wrong: perhaps a virus or spyware program has infected the PC, or your computer needs a PC health check to detect system errors. So I was a bit alarmed the day a bunch of my Windows XP file names suddenly turned blue. A quick (albeit kinda frantic) look around online revealed that no, XP wasn't acting up: blue file names indicate files that haven't been accessed in a while, and were compressed by the Disk Cleanup utility.
