Windows 10: Windows 10 File Explorer Listing Order

I cannot find a listing of the default order of the files on Windows Explorer. I know mine are not correct. In my list I have Quick access at the top followed by Desktop. Desktop contains: Creative Cloud Files, OneDrive, Me, This PC, Libraries, Network, Control Panel, Recycle Bin and then I have 10 file folders. I ran "system file checker" hoping this would put these things back in the correct order, but it did not. Can anyone tell me how to get the things that don't belong inside Desktop out and in the correct order?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
