Why don't you switch to one of the many better alternatives such as Foxit for example? Adobe Reader has always been bloated and slow in comparison.

It's been years since I used Adobe Reader. I've used FoxIt for at least six years that I can think of (because I remember using it at my last job). It launches so much faster, without wasting time on the launch screen. If I want to read a PDF, I don't want to have to wait forever for it to load. Nothing Adobe makes is small.

The only reason why I like adobe reader is because you can view pdf's in the website, its annoying to keep downloading them. Does FOXit allow you to view pdf in desktop ie?
