Windows auto-connect when starting gui

Post by krzee » Thu Feb 10, 2011 6:46 pm

I would like a feature to add a feature to the windows GUI program
I would like the option to mark configs to auto-connect
This could either be:
-an option you put in the config, that when found, would tell the windows GUI app to auto-start that connection
or
-a setting (reg entry) that you can change to tell the system to automatically load certain configs when the GUI app is started

When more than 1 config is starting, and has a passphrase, the distinction of which config is asking would need to be made

Does this satisfy this wish-list item, krzee?
