if you are using adobe acrobat/reader, you surely agree with me that the loaded time for this program is damned unbelievably looooooong!! and there is a way to solve that: just install Adobe Reader Speed-up from Joseph Cox (i like this guy ;-), run it once (really, just once!), choose the option [SpeedUp – Fast] and you will see. your adobe reader is working like hell, faster than notepad, also the plug-in version integrated in the browsers.
this tool requires the VB runtimes and actually de-activate a majority of plug-ins which are completely useless for most of us.
a MUST HAVE.
