Also curious if there is a setting that allows me to enlarge the thumbnails in the Layer window.  They're just too darn small for me and I can't tell which is which. 

Thank you in advance for any tips and suggestions.

Recently I managed to figure out how to display .svg files as thumbnails in the windows file manager.

I shared this post:

For .xfc I don't know if this is possible. If so, I would also like to have access to this information.

As for enlarging thumbnails (and here I think you are talking about Gimp now, not Windows anymore):

In the layers dialog there is a small icon at the top right.
Click on this icon and the "Preview Size" option will appear.
