Windows 7 - Enabling Microsoft dBase Driver as Data Sources (ODBC)

In windows 7 you can only find the SQL Driver and none of the other drivers are listed. You would need to set the target to point to the 32-bit ODBC exe to find the other Data Sources to be listed:

1) Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).
2) Right-click on properties and select the target as "%windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe".
3) In the User DSN tab, click on Add...
4) In the screen that follows, select Microsoft dBase Driver (*.dbf)
5) Click Finish.

Windows 7 - Enabling Telnet

By default telnet is not packaged with Windows 7. More than likely this was an attempt to make Windows more secure by default, as Telnet is very insecure and whenever you have the choice you should always use SSH. We can quickly re-enable Telnet by following these steps:

1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Programs And Features
4. Turn Windows features on or off
5. Check Telnet Client
6. Hit OK

After that you can start Telnet via Command Prompt
