Hey a complete novice in code here. One day I noticed a strange looking file that was in my downloads folder and being the idiot I am I decided to double click it without a single thought. When I did, I got a “windows script host” dialog box saying some sort of error. Now upon closer inspection I realized it was a backup of a script that I downloaded for tampermonkey some while back. I know the script works properly on my google chrome, but I’m just afraid that by double clicking on the script in file explorer I may have screwed up something on my computer…. So can anyone knowledgeable give me some insight in the simplest terms into what might have happened when I double clicked on the file? Could I have damaged my PC?

I tried opening it in notepad to see what was up, but being a complete novice in coding, I just can’t tell what happened.

Here is the code I copied from notepad
