When I'm logged into our Windows Server 2003 server, I don't see any ODBC Data Sources, but when a different user logs in (who doesn't have Administrative rights), they have a big list of ODBC Data Sources.

Are ODBC Data Sources set on a per-user basis? How come the Administrator can't see user's ODBC Data Sources?
