I came across some .exe files which belong to Photoshop. Spotlight indicates they have something to do with droplets, is this normal? I thought .exe files were found in Windows only. Thanks

.exe files will only run on windows, not on OS X.

The droplets from Photoshop are indeed .exe's and run fine in OS X; however, they are more "cross-platform" scripts as you can pass them between Mac and PC's without issues.

They're scripts for Photoshop. If you right-click an image in the Finder and go to "Open With...", you'll be presented with those various scripts to do whatever it says they do to the image file.
