PLE files are password protected encrypted log files. To read them Plus! needs to decrypt them and you will need the exact password to open them.

There is also absolute no way to retrieve the password in case you've forgotten it.

Windows can't find the program associated with PLE files because you uninstalled Messenger Plus!... You need Messenger Plus! in order to open password protected encrypted log files. It is Messenger Plus! which presents you with that "enter password" dialog and it is Messenger Plus! which converts (decrypts) those files to a readable format.

The files were never just text files. What you got to see was the result of the decrypting of the PLE files. The PLE files are encrypted, they aren't text (eg: open them in notepad and you'll see that they never were text files).
