     3Its settings are determined by the following registry keys all of which have reasonable defaults as installed:
    44{{{
    5 exe_path   -- which executable to start
    6 config_ext -- extension of config files
     5exe_path   -- which executable to start (install-path\bin\openvpn.exe by default)
     6config_ext -- extension of config files (.ovpn by default)
    77config_dir -- where configs live (this directory and its immediate subdirectories are scanned).

    10 log_append -- append to log or not

     15So a simple instruction would be to name the config with extension {{{.ovpn}}} and copy it to {{{install-path\config}}} or one of its subdirectories. Then set the OpenVPNService to start automatically and start it:
     16
     17{{{
     18sc config OpenVPNService start= auto
     19sc start OpenVPNService
     20}}}
     21Note: the above commands should be run from an elevated command prompt and the space after start= is required.
