>Determine on a SAFE file what brings up a menu for detailed properties when you click on something.
>Then do that with the do not open bit

You manage to find out how to bring up file properties, and attempt to inspect the do not open folder.
You can see two things about it
FILES IN FOLDER: 0
FILE SIZE ON DISK: 32 KB.

Something about that doesn't sound right.

>Check recycle bin
You open up the recycle bin. It just has documents titled "schedule for" followed by a date. Nothing too interesting.
Next you open up the new folder. Inside are a bunch of folders titled new folder1,2,3,4, and so on. I guess she doesn't know how to rename folders? Or maybe it's a way to confuse possible snoops?

>For starters, reproduce the error: Double-click inbox and see what goes wrong.
You double click the inbox and an error pops up.
The application you are trying to open is either unavailable at this time or cannot be found. Please contact your administrator for more information.

Another message pop ups on screen:

Open mozzarilla and check browsing history.
Check file properties on that New Application. When was it created?

>>1057700

Yea, some settings somewhere allows for hidden files. Try opening New Folder and see if you can edit the folder view settings, and navigate to view the desktop with the program used to view folders, enabling showing the file extension options and showing all hidden filetypes and all those power user type settings that give more information or options or show advanced menus or whatever. That will help inform whether you can do something with the 'do not open'. I suppose it would depend on what kind of extra detail you can figure out!

how is the file that isn't supposed to be filed doing on our desk?

>>1057707
This, but also. I feel like opening the Do Not File is critical. Afterall its "do not file" not "do not open". Crack it open!

Oh well. Play some solitaire.

>>1057809

We were told at the start not to open it though

If this is some kind of computer simulation, we definitely should not open the file. It might be a zip bomb or a virus.

>>1057909

And that was before everything started getting super wonky. Also, no one reasonable would expect someone not to peek given those instructions. This entire business and experience is completely out of control!

Still there, thankfully. You can see why the secretary needed an assistant for this, the computer can sure be distracting.

You try to check the creation date for it, but seems like it's just blank? Hopefully nothing's wrong with the computer.

Odd. You don't have permission to see file extensions, but it lets you enable hidden files.
Out of curiosity, you check the DO NOT OPEN folder.

It's changed?

Oh neat Minesweeper is on the desktop. Why is it hidden though? Try running it.

Also, now that you can examine folders for their contents, snoop in New Folder, using Properties to see which of the subfolders contain files.

Play minesweeper

Open New Folder and use that to manually type in the path to do not open so you can browse to where you can see the hidden file in the do not open folder without going there normally.

Odd that is was hidden, but you suppose a short break here couldn't hurt. You double click the icon and the game board pops up.

Also holy shit move quickly! Whatever is on the computer is influencing reality! Start downloading pictures of money and printing them! This is of the utmost urgency! If the net is down use MSPAINT!

NOW do you believe you're in a simulation?? Or possibly the afterlife?? Or some mad scientist's artificially set up world??

>>1058737
Oh, in addition, try adding a bunch of files to do not open and see if the do not file gets bulkier!

More precisely, consider that you may be literally in Hell. In other words, either a supernatural demon is messing with your local reality in malicious manner, or it is actually hundreds of years into The Future, and an evil AI has copied your brain onto a smaller computer somewhere, and is running you and your coworkers in a simulated Hell and making you think that the present is actually the present. Now realize that there is, to your viewpoint, NO OBSERVABLE DIFFERENCE between the two scenarios from the inside.

What happens when you win Solitaire, then? Try that next.

We can number crunch so much shit if we only knew how to apply the computer's base programs to unanswered fundamental problems like [P:NP]

Start off by attempting to code a basic .js script and use a browser to play it. Use the command browser to find 'spells' and throw them into the code.

Maybe you should not being bad at minesweeper dude.

>>1058754
this... isn't actually a bad idea
see if you can use javascript to summon your hunky original the character to real life

Ya this is like that sci fi/fantasy book where the protagonist realized he was a computer program in a simulated world, and then figured out how to get access to some of the code of his simulation, and used his coding skills to cast spells on his reality.

See if you can do that without getting yourself or others horribly killed!

Okay, there might be some kind of magic or crazy sci-fi thing going in the office. Door's don't just suddenly blow up after all.

>Whatever is on the computer is influencing reality! Start downloading pictures of money and printing them!
Well, it's a worth a shot. Hopefully this won't cause any economic problems or collapse. You try to print out some pictures of money, however an error pops up.
ERROR: This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. A note will be added to your file about this.
So much for free money...

Unfortunately, you have no idea how to code or program. That's beyond your pay grade.

>print a paper with pens written on it. Try at least a brand of pen, color, and quantity just in case it's specific
Well, if you can't print out money. Maybe you can print office supplies? You try typing up a document with all kinds of ways to describe pens. You print it out, but nothing happens. Then you try printing out pictures of pens, but alas. Still nothing.
You try to think. Maybe there's something else you have to do with these files for the office magic to work?

I don't think printing will do anything. I think it has to be a file on the computer. Try saving a photo of some office supplies to the computer!

You wouldn't download a car!

>>1059376 This!
Its so obvious! Download A CAR!

Ya, save it to the desktop, then close and then run the file by double clicking it from the desktop. Try various sorts of files types, text, images, and the like. Also, the office equipment around you was influencing reality, maybe you can do something with that??

Maybe you gotta do the opposite of shredding files? Double check the room just to make sure printing didn't do anything

Ya, can you restore things, get them out of trash or recycle bins, stop destroying things, put things back in their place, both digitally and in 'reality'?

You wouldn't download a car, the company's internet speed is only 64 kb/s. You'll be clocked out for the night before it even gets half way there.

>Try saving a photo of some office supplies to the computer!
>Try various sorts of files types, text, images, and the like.
You save your little collage of office supplies as a jpig onto the desktop. Then you also make a notepad file as well. Still no luck.

>try adding a bunch of files to do not open and see if the do not file gets bulkier!
You try putting your office supply files into the Do Not Open folder, and get met with an error:
(X) : File is read only for this user.

You don't think you can hit the undo button and un-shred a folder. Maybe the files have to be on both the computer and in the office? You grab an empty folder and put the office supply papers in it.

Neat!

Create a folder titled "Fluffy Mascot" and stuff it with a combination of curated lewds, standard textbooks, and some random stuff.

So... you can now print out pictures of arbitrary things, label a folder appropriately, place the picture in the folder, and then HAVE THE THING IN FRONT OF YOU.

You... have the ability to summon... literally anything!

See if it's limited to things that 'should' be at an office, or if it's other, arbitrary things too! Can you get sci fi and fantasy things? Will they work?!?!

BREAK THE ECONOMY GET A BUNCH OF SUPER TECH, TOOLS, JEWELS, MAGICAL ITEMS, THE MOST AMAZING CLOTHES, IMPOSSIBLE THINGS, MAGICAL COMPANIONS, LET YOUR INNER 12 YEAR OLD FREEEE YOU CAN HAVE AAANNYYYTHIIINGGG!!!!

To start with, try things like:

-Money/Gems/Platinum Bars
-Extreme high end office chair
-Survival Kit/Bug Out Bag
-Peak Physical and Mental Prowess Fast-Acting Super-Serum
-Sci Fi energy blaster with a stun setting
-Immortality Potion
-Magical Skill-Granting Book (start with something innocuous, like for gardening, and if that works, start ramping it up to every skill you ever wanted)

>>1059863

Something to enable you to fly with complete control! A ring of flying, perhaps! And a ring of invisibility! But not the over the top evil types, just the basic ones.

Don't get too crazy with materializing things into your office immediately. Start with something simple, like porn.

>>1059868

What happens if that materializes, you know, the character of a porn star? Not the actor, the actual over the top character they're playing as?

Make a new door before everyone finds out you sucked at mainsweeper

>>1059903

Would that make an appropriately installed door, or just summon the materials? Or would you need some sort of sci fi repair beam or magical repair device?
