Thank you "Sooner Al" - I tried your directions but i'm not technical so it
all looked greek to me. In XP I was able to create shortcut then copy/paste
the shortcut in the starup folder, I was hoping for something along those
lines? Not sure if it's possible under Vista? Any other suggestions? Is
there a location where the specific VPN connection is stored on the file
system that I could create a shortcut to?
Thank you.
