I use Thumbnailer and store my designs on the My Documents page or in folders. They are always visible as images of the stitch out. You hover over the design with your mouse and it tells you how many stitches, colors, size. and KB's. Not only designs. but puts images to all the shortcuts on the desktop. That's what I pd for mine, also. All the formats are included and you can choose how many you want to be displayed. Since I use .pes, it is easier to only have that format displayed---then I know an icon must be re-formatted. Many people swear by SewIconz, and you can get a 30 day free trial of that one.
