When
you install Reader, the Speed Launcher
program is installed into your computer’s Common Startup group.
The Speed Launcher shortens the time needed to start Reader.
Although this is not recommended, you can disable Speed Launcher
by dragging its icon out of the Startup folder.
Note: If you have
both Acrobat and Adobe Reader installed on the same system, two Speed
Launcher icons appear in the Startup folder. If you want to disable
Speed Launcher, remove both Speed Launcher icons from the Startup
folder.
