Ever haited waiting for adobe reader to load up fear no more, i found this on betanews.com its tiny, worth a try

Adobe Reader Speed-Up significantly decreases the amount of time required for Adobe Reader 6.0 to start by disabling most of the least used plugins. Plugins can be freely enabled and disabled, if required.

Currently supports free and full versions of Adobe Acrobat v3.0, v4.0, v4.0.5, v5.0, v5.0 CE, v5.1, v5.5, and Adobe Reader v6.0 and v6.0.1.

yup made a huge difference on my laptop i put it on the turbo setting. wow from like at least 30 seconds to like 7 or somthing like that
 
i had a thing called PDF Speedup for the past few months i dont know if it's the same... i dont use adobe a lot anyway
 
does this program tell you what plugins its disabling to speed it up?
 
Yes, AR Speed-Up includes a text file that describes each plugin. You get to decide which plugins are kept and which are disabled; the disabled ones are moved to a separate directory and can be restored either by AR Speed-Up or yourself at any time. The program also includes a couple of tweaks, including disabling the Adobe splash screen and unregistering the wisptis.exe background service. It truly is a handy little app.

To save looking, leave "EWH32" "printme" and "search" in plugins folder and move others to a newly opened folder called "plugins disabled"
Acrobat then opens in a third of the time or so.
 
I think this proggy has been posted in the news/software news section numerous times in the past. Surprised the Mods/Admin haven't put a section to archive these useful links.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
