I recently installed Picasa, a photo viewer editor and its plugins have a .PLE filetype.

This means that all my encrypted logfiles are now picasa plugins. I can open and enter the password to view the log from within MSN Messenger but I can't do much when opening them alone. I managed to restore the icon and the program it opens with but the function wont work (when double clicking an encrypted file, password box opens and I enter a password and it opens).

Does anyone know how to fully get it so when I double click the file, it asks for my password and opens (like before picasa)?

The restore function wont work it'll only restore the file type to a picasa plugin.

Wouldn't reinstalling Messenger Plus! restore the link between .PLE and Messenger Plus!?

Good idea. Do I need to uninstall it first, or will it install over itself?

Yay all hope has been restored! and the file type

Silly me for not thinking of reinstalling MP!3

Thanks Tochjo

Next time it could save you a little while by right-clicking on a .ple file, click "Properties" and change the program .ple is to be opened with

No no no, this is why I posted this thread. I tried doing it myself and did that but when I double clicked a .ple file, it wouldn't open like it should. But reinstalling Plus! was quick and easy and it fixed the problem. No worries now
