Microsoft's 64-bit ODBC administrator

ODBC Administrator tool displays both the 32-bit and the 64-bit user DSNs in a 64-bit version of Windows:

A 64-bit version of the Microsoft Windows operating system includes the following versions of the Microsoft Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Data Source Administrator tool (Odbcad32.exe):

• The 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder.

• The 64-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file is located in the %systemdrive%\Windows\System32 folder.

So.....

• There's a 32 bit ODBC administrator and a 64 bit ODBC Administrator tool. Understandable. 
• Both have the same file name Odbcad32.exe. Dumb....but OK.
• The 32 bit version is in a folder with 64 in the name and the 64 bit version is in a folder with 32 in the name. WTF? 

Time to sell the Microsoft stock.
