Can’t automate my parts of my daily job because I don’t have permission

Part of my job is to paste a file into a folder and wait for a new file to appear in a different folder. The issue is the file will only stay in that folder for 1-30 seconds and if I don't open it in that time I have to start the process over which takes 2 minutes. I decided that I could automate this with a script that watches for a specific file type to be created in that folder and opens it as soon as it is created for me. I spent a couple hours researching PowerShell and working on the script. When I finished I went to run it and got an error message saying “running scripts has been disabled on this system.” I guess I won't be automating any part of my job.
