On a school iMac, I created folders which contained html, jpg, pdf files and other folders. I copied these folders to my thumb drive (the one I use all the time). When I got home, I put this thumb drive into my iMac (Yosemite OS) to finish the folder transfers. When I found the folders I was looking for, they had turned into exec files. What happened?
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10)
All of the three items started out as folders. I will see what I can do. If I reformat my flash drive, will it help in the corruption?
Hey this exactly what happened to my files. I don't know what to do ??? please help
That appears to be a Windows .exe file which cannot be opened by OS X. If you have Windows installed on your Mac as well, then boot up in Windows and try opening it.

Well, it's 6.4 MB of something, but the name has been truncated. Please post the entire name of the file here.
Kurt thanks for confirming it just looks curiously wrong to my eyes 🙂
