Using the ODBC Data Source Administrator

Vista Help

I spent a substantial time to figure out how to invoke the ODBC Data Source Administrator in Vista. Do you remember it was a little icon in Administrative Tools? I do not see the icon in Vista. So I did a little search and found
How do I add a data source and driver to my computer?
Open ODBC data source administrator by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Additional Options, and then clicking Data Sources (ODBC).‌

However Additional options in my case had only Java icon. So what to do? I tried a new search feature of Vista, so I press start and typed in search box odbc and press enter. Can you believe what happened after? Yes, I got the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
