Unable to right-click OpenVPN Gui after successful connect

Good news...

I found that on my Windows 7 system the problem was due to EnableBalloonTips being set to zero in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

I deleted it and now it works fine. You could alse set it to 2 instead of deleting it.

Thanks,

This (registry edit) is still a problem...thanks! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out if openvpn gui had crashed or not, and using task manager to hard kill the service.

I wonder what changed the registry settings...

In my case EnableBalloonTips was not present at the location specified, so I was unable to remove it.
I added it to the registry and set its value to 2.
After reboot, the right click menu showed up nicely.

Thanks for this very useful solution.
