Speeding up Adobe Acrobat
Despite its name, the Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn't exactly spring into action. Run Adobe Reader Speedup once, and it should make it a a lot more eager to get to work. It works by disabling the program's least-used plug-ins. It stores them in Acrobat Reader's Optional folder, so that if a particular PDF does require a plug-in, it will load it automatically for that document only.

You can actually make do without ANY of the plugins in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\plug_ins folder. Why on earth don't they disable all of that cruft by default considering the fact that it changes acrobat from having a 30 second start time to being instantaneous!?
