I use a great little program call Sew What Pro...actually the SewIconz part of it. Once unzipped, you can select the PES design and delete the rest which saves a lot of room on your hard drive. I save my designs to Documents/EmbroideryDesigns/category. Easy to find what I want. I like the Sew What Pro because each portion of it is "stand-a-lone" so I can buy just the parts I need. Of course, I have them all now!! Software is relatively inexpensive and they have great customer service along with a Yahoo group. Sands Computing sells the program.
