      One long running Windows Explorer bugbear is that SKP files etc show an image in their file-icon,
      but SketchUp’s .SKM [material] and .Style files do not
      [of course they do show up in SketchUp itself, but use a generic icon in Windows Explorer].
      There are paid 3rd party apps to fix this, but the free ones
      [e.g. SageThumbs fail with SKMs] - until now.
      There is a good free and safe alternative called ‘Icaros’.
      It’s simple to install and use.
      You need to add this to its supported filetype lists -

      ;.style;.skm
      

      and restart to see your Style and SKM files images in Windows Explorer file-icons…
