Re: How to remove "Data Sources (ODBC)" from control panel? Chip 11.07.2007 15:16:01 Hi Bing, Thanks for your reply. I am not quite sure I understand your first solution. I tried to open odbccp32.cpl file with notepad or wordpad without success. My guess from your last reply was I needed to edit cpl file for [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\don't load]. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks a lot. -- Chip "Bing.Chen" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Dear Chip, > > Please try this solution. > > [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\don't > load] > - odbccp32.cpl (ODBC Applet) > Set this value to "No" > > Otherwise, you may reference following page to create a policy file. > http://support.microsoft.com/kb/207750/en-us > > -- > Best Regards, > Bing Chen > Advantech Co., Ltd. > Microsoft eMVP > > ¬ãµØ - ·L³n¥xÆW°Ï´O¤J¦¡§[ at ]·~¨t²Î¸g¾P°Ó > http://www.advantech.com.tw/epc/newsletter/ATW/2005MS/ > > > "Chip" <Chip[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> ¼¶¼g©ó¶l¥ó·s»D:024ABC23-AD38-4C69-8F00-E6C401829F9A[ at ]microsoft.com... > > Hi, > > > > Does anyone know how to remove or disable "Data Sources (ODBC)" from > > control > > panel?
