Powershell RDP file

Question

I'm trying to open saved RDP session from my "download" folder.

The following command works. However, I would like it to open *.RDP session files which were saved within 1 minute and delete anything older than 2 minutes.

$RDPFile = "$env:USERPROFILE\downloads\Office.rdp"
Invoke-Expression "mstsc.exe /h:850 /w:1000 '$RDPFile'"

Please format your code and sample input/output properly. Also, show us what you've tried and where, specifically, you're stuck. — mklement0

The logic should be something like this. Please change the placeholders accordingly:

$path= "Drive:your\path"
$d = [datetime](Get-ItemProperty -Path $path -Name LastWriteTime).lastwritetime
if( (((Get-Date)-$d).TotalMinutes) -le 1)
{
Invoke-Expression "mstsc.exe /h:850 /w:1000 '$RDPFile'"
}
else
{
Remove-Item $path\*.rdp -Force
}

Note: I have not checked the Invoke part since you have already mentioned its working.

Hope it helps.
