Powershell: Encrypt/Decrypt Remote Desktop Connection Manager Credentials
# There is no facility to replace passwords in RDCMan once they are stored. The only way is to create a new custom credential.
# If you open your *.rdg file in a text editor, locate the stored <password>, you can then decrypt it using this script.
# This script can also encrypt a plain text password in rdg format which can be used to overwrite an existing one in the xml.
