Connect OpenVPN on Windows startup.

Adding the following parameter to the executable will make it automatically connect to myprofile.ovpn on startup, and show the classic GUI icon.:

 --connect "myprofile.ovpn"

Place this shortcut in the All Users Startup Folder

 C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

if you wish all users should use VPN. If only a certain user shall auto connect then place the shortcut in

 C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

NOTE: the myprofile.ovpn file must be available in the folder

 C:\Users\[Username]\OpenVPN\config\
