I have folders with names like that inside my WINDOWS folder.  Whether 
they are shown or hidden in Windows Explorer, and whether they're shown in 
blue, are controlled by the folder options I select.  (I normally have "show 
hidden files/folders", "show system files: and "show compressed files in 
different colour" enabled....)
