Is there any Windows based portable pptp client that I can put on my jump drive for use in a lock-down PC User/Guest account in XP or Vista?

I would like to use my Personal-VPN connection, which uses OpenVPN protocol, in the public library. Their PCs are locked down so I can't setup the Windows PPTP client within the OS to establish a point-to-point VPN connection. The library will let me use any USB dongle. Thanks.

First, PPTP clients cannot be used for OpenVPN:

...my Personal-VPN connection, which uses OpenVPN protocol, ...

and

...I can't setup the Windows PPTP client...


Second, to use a VPN connection, you usually need to tell the OS where to route packets, which cannot be done without at least Administrator privileges. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

I'm using Witopia VPN service, and they do use the OpenVPN protocol with a handy PPTP VPN for those who don't want to install any thing on their PC or laptop.
