Question PPPoE run on Startup?

yo, i run off of Sprint DSL 512kbps (down)/ 256kbps (up) through a 645 series modem. no i dont network, this PC is solo, and yes i run off of Ethernet.
Heres the deal: after requestin through sprint the possibility to hook up some online gamin, primarily serv hostin they told me due to the intenral modem firewall this was not possible unless i config the modem as a bridge than set up a new PPPoE connection. Which i did, and it runs perfectly fine, np. Stupid question is which im sure this was waste of time to ask the pros here, is- is there anyway to set up that PPPoE (internet connection through modem) to startup when windows startups instead of always havin to click the link i made everytime?
Heres the where the "stupid" part comes in, Sprint told me that it was impossilbe to do, even if u put the PPPoE link into ur startup folder. Just thought 1 of u might know another way , feedback be appreciated thanx.

Use this instead of the PPPoE client you are using. How to get it to start with Windows is covered in the documentation.

Then why did you even bother to ask? Give this forum more credit, please.
