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 fas
t and almost as good as notepad.
warning : this change does not let you to open the pdf file in online ie., in the internet explorer or firefox.
