I've checked Start > Programs very thoroughly, and I
can't find any reference to ODBC. That's what's so
weird; I can see it in Add/Remove programs.
I made a desktop shortcut icon to the system32/ODBCad
file, but all it does is open up ODBC DataSource
Administrator, which doesn't appear to be a start
program.
I uinstalled and reinstalled ODBC, hoping the start
icon would register, but nothing changed.
Thanks.
