Speed up Adobe Acrobat Reader loading
Everyone knows that Adobe Acrobat Reader 5 and 6 loads slow.
Here's a simple fix to speed that puppy up.
(Easily reversible if you change your mind).
1) Start Adobe Reader. To turn off the splash screen go to Edit - Preferences - Startup then uncheck the box "Display Splash Screen". I also turn off "Show messages and automatically update".
2) Shutdown Adobe Reader. Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 6.0\Reader (replace the C: if you installed on another drive).
3) Create a new folder called plug_ins_disabled or plug_ins_backup, your choice.
4) Move all the files and the folders (except three files see #5) from the plug_ins folder to the disabled or backup folder you just created.
5) Leave the following three files in the original folder, EWH32.api, search.api and search5.api, if you have them. [If you use adobe to print across the internet, leave in printme.api] [If you want the weblinks to work, leave in escript.ini and weblink.ini]
Now start Adobe Reader and enjoy the speed increase.
(Once again, If you change your mind, simply move all the files back.)
To see more information on the Plug-Ins and how they depend on one another, open Acrobat. From the Help menu choose About Adobe Plug-Ins. Select the Plug-In on the left. On the right, you will see what the Plug-In does and the other Plug-In's that it depends on for full functionality.
NOTE: The following are sets of folders and API files. Select the one you need for your use.

EWH32.api
printme.api

Add ability to follow embedded web links

Version 7 is out since 1-2 month now! You should migrate to Version 7 instead of speeding up 5 or 6.
