SPEED UP ACROBAT READER (ALMOST LIKE NOTEPAD)
Adobe Acrobat reader always
consumes more memory when it starts. The reason behind is, it loads all the
plugins, even the plugins that you do not use. This trick is to remove all the
plugins from the plugins directory to elsewhere. Hence, whenever you open
Acrobat reader it directly opens the files without loading any plugins and the
speed is just like Notepad.
1. Go to the installation folder
of acrobat reader
(C:\program files\adobe\acrobat\reader\.. whatever)
2. Move all the files and folders from the "plugins" directory to the "Optional" directory. (I repeat.. cut and paste the files NOT copy & paste).
Also make sure that acrobat reader is not open else it will lock the files and not allow you to move the files).
Now your acrobat reader will load very fast and almost as good as notepad.

How To Disable Startup Programs In Windows 7 and Vista
Hi
friends, you all have noticed that when we purchase a PC or laptop,it
starts very fast. This happens due to less number of programs installed
in the newly purchased system. But over time as we install more and more
software we may start to notice that it takes longer and longer time for
our system to start. This is probably because many
applications these days hook into your
Windows Startup process and automatically load up each time you start your computer. For some applications, that’s a good thing (Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc…), however for the majority of apps out there it’s just a resource SUCK which are doing nothing more than taking up memory, cpu and extending the startup times.
