According to http://www.itsatechworld.com/2006/01/29/how-to-configure-openvpn/
you make a shortcut to the OpenVPN GUI, put it at the Startup meu, then append the --connect bolehvpn.ovpn to the Target field of that shortcut (of course assuming that your config file is named bolehvpn.ovpn).

Thus it may look like this:-

"C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpn-gui-1.0.3.exe" --connect bolehvpn.ovpn

Haven't tried it myself though, because I run Windows Vista in standard mode and OpenVPN needs to run in admin mode. If you use Windows XP in admin mode, it shopuld work properly.

There's also a way to make openvpn run as a service via services.msc

need to delete the other config u're not using tho.

the ovpn file specified in the shortcut will be used. If you use bolehvpn.ovpn, it will connect to that. If you specify bolehroute.ovpn, it will use that one.
