Thanks for all your help on this, I worked out what it was. A long time ago (on a PC far away) .. I setup an "automated" VPN solution, which would ensure the VPN was running and restart on errors etc. The main reason for all the "automation" was so that after connecting the client would download "updates" (Lot's of air quotes .. it was a long time ago) I used a product called Filewatcher for Windows, and it was actually very robust .. so robust in fact, it took me all this time to work out where the hell I had hidden it ! It was a "Hidden" scheduled Task .. and its name was not related to openvpn so it took me ages to remember and find. Anyway .. at least the problem had nothing to do with openvpn! nor even windows! .. just $user (me) playing $admin .. D'oh!
