My recollection is that ODBC installation "normally" adds ODBCAdmin to the Start Menu, so it's probably there somewhere, but if you want a desktop icon for ODBC Administrator, right click on it in Windows Explorer and select 'Create a Shortcut'.

I think the path is to configure ODBC datasources: %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe
There isn't a MySQL ODBC executable as far as I know.

OK, I found it there...but how do you start it? Double clicking it just brings up all sorts of information and choices.
I installed ODBC before but never got a chance to do much with it before my computer crashed. But I could have sworn there was a simple icon that I clicked to start it, just like a normal software program.
Thanks.
