I am assuming that you are speaking about file you previously created on another Mac. Otherwise you could not expect to get pictures and text out of them.
Why they end up with a .exe extension, when you know they were created on a Mac is beyond me, but I know I have a bunch from way back when I was using AOHell. Try opening the ones you believe to be text with good, old TextEdit.
In my case, if I created them and TextEdit doesn't open them, I generally delete them. At that point they are so old, they usually are not worth any more effort.

Hi!
I realize that files with the extension .exe are Windows executable files and can't be opened with Mac programs.
I tried using "File Juicer" to see whether I could extract some useful text and possibly some jpegs.
I got a few pictures, but no useful text at all – just a bunch of gibberish.
Are there any ways to get useful data from .exe files with a Mac?
Thanks!
