All version of Windows prior to v8.0 had a handy directory called, Startup Items. Worked great and made things really convenient.
Well, Window 8.x hast this feature too, except like most features of Windows 8.x, one doesn't quite know why something that is supposed to work just doesn't!
I know most have run into this problem where you install a program or write a script (including OpenVPN GUI) that and drop its shortcut into the Startup Items folder of Windows 8.x only to see that it does NOT startup at login.
The problem is a with a registry entry that does NOT abide to your settings of the UAC or the EULA. Basically, there is nowhere to turn this bugger off without going into the registry.
I've attached a regfix that takes care of this. You'll need to run it as an Administrator and have Administrator rights to your profile.
Here's the Cut/Paste version

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"EnableLUA"=dword:00000000
