How to read a PLIST file on Windows

Hello,

I just discovered a bunch of .plist files on my PC, which I suppose come from my iPhone.
These files are not readable by Windows.
And of course, my curiosity drives me to want to read the content.
I just downloaded three software programs, Property List Editor and ... oops, I can't remember the others.
I couldn't manage to use any of them! pfffff
Is there a script or software that exists to fix this problem, please?

Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

    Hello
    plist is actually the abbreviation for playlist. I simply suggest opening the files with Notepad.

      Hello jmwurth, and thank you

      Yes, I tried with Notepad++
      I still see text with series of numbers
      After several searches, I ended up thinking that I can't view these files correctly

      Thanks anyway ;)

      I first noted this extension as QuickTime preferences, which is an Apple/Macintosh software like iPhone, with a free version QuickTime Player for Windows.
