Greyed out EA

I am using W7, and so far the workarounds have helped a lot.

I have to copy EA's from one folder to another, but that's no biggie.

However, all of my EA's that I create are 'ghosted' out. The sample EA's are Blue and Yellow.

Any idea what this means?

Just realized I posted in the wrong area. Sorry.

The strategy builder generates the compiled EA = the ex4 file but does not show the code = the mq4 file. EAs that have a gray icon in MetaTrader do not have an mq4 file which means you can't edit them. They work the same way as the ones with the yellow icon - the only difference is that you can't see the code. Please not that all MT4 variables can be changed w/o editing the code.
