Duplicate ODBC icons exist in Control Panel due to default of Windows 95.
Cause:
By default, Windows 95 places the ODBCCP32.DLL file in the 'System' folder and places the following line in the CONTROL.INI file:
ODBC32=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ODBCCP32.DLL
Control Panel automatically loads all .CPL files (such as ODBCCP32.CPL) in the 'System' folder. Some applications may not detect or remove .CPL files in the 'System' folder, causing duplicate icons to appear.
Solution:
Remove the ODBCCP32.CPL file from the 'System' folder.
1) On the desktop, double-click 'My Computer'.
'My Computer'
2) Double-click the C:\ drive.
3) Double-click the 'Windows' folder.
4) Double-click the 'System' folder.
5) Click the ODBCCP32.CPL file once to highlight it.
6) Select the 'File' menu and select 'Delete'.
