I'd like to submit a correction for question "2.1) How do I setup a
datasource?" in the FAQ. The existing text reads:

"For Windows, use the ODBC Administrator in Control Panel. Here you
can add, modify, or delete data sources."

On Windows XP, however, there is no Control Panel applet for ODBC
management. The answer should read:

"Go to Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and Add the
PostgreSQL Unicode driver".
      

Uh, I am not sure where you saw this FAQ but this is not an FAQ we
manage.  Where did you see it?

that is still incorrect because very few computers will have the display Administrative tools in start menu turned on.
 
If the user has the new XP style start menu turned on the Reading should be
 Start -> Control Panel-> Administrate Tools  ->  Data Sources (ODBC)

if the User has Classic Start menu turned on the reading is

"Go to Start-> Settings ->  Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources (ODBC) 

and off course both are wrong if users don't have classic view turned on in control panel 

Another option is 
 Start -> Run -> type in "odbcad32.exe" minus the  quotes then click OK button. 

Its early still given time i could come up with a couple more ways to get to the ODBC admin tool

I don't have a clue about Vista sense i have avoided it like the plague.
