Hi Ken,
a possibly not too bad workaround could be to config a Putty session with automatic login, no shell,
minimized window (such as 2 lines, 20 chars), using a key instead of password for authentication
(config window SSH/auth). Then create a shortcut which calls Putty with a session parameter.
In this case, you only have to double click the shortcut icon and wait some seconds before using
PgAdmin. The complete session start incl. login is done automatically.
