    Where are Data source Names (DSN's) stored?


    DSN's were here (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\) in XP.
    Where did they go in Win7?

    Thanks.

    Can it be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC File DSN\ ?

    Mine is set as "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\ODBC\Data Sources"

    It looks like the old key is 64 bit and the 32 bit is here:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\ODBC\ODBC.INI]
