Easily set up VPNs for home users

I'm giving our users access to our network from home via VPN. I'm using PPTP on our router and will then let them get on their work computers via Remote Desktop. What I'm wondering is, what's the best way to get their VPN connection set up on their home computer? These users are not very computer-savvy and must have step-by-step instruction to do anything. That, or I need to go to each of their houses to set this up.

My first thought would be to somehow burn the settings onto a CD and use autorun to create the connection once they put it into their computer. That way it would be minimal instruction-following on their part. Is there a way to do this? Is there a secret way to just copy a VPN connection from one computer to another? Or could I write a script to create the connection?

TIA
