Adobe Reader 6.0 Slow Loading "fix"
I love Adobe and the pdf format but when I upgraded to 6.0 on my XP machine, trhe load time increased considerably. It was all these darn plug-ins that I'll never use. I just want to open a pdf file fast without wait. Below are the steps to solve the problem. I now no longer wait and load. Nice
Basically, you need to do the following:
1. Install Adobe Reader 6.0 and notice where it is installed.
2. Navigate to that folder in Explorer, locate the plug_ins subfolder and rename this folder to plug_ins_disabled.
3. Create a new plug_ins folder.
4. Move the files EWH32.api, printme.api and search.api from plug_ins_disabled to plug_ins.

From the same website, here is what each plug-in does, so that you can determine which you will need:
