Tweaks; Speed up Adobe Reader 8

Here's the tweak if you don't have time: Just remove the "accessability.api" file.

To remove this 'feature' simply navigate to your %Program Files%\Adobe\Reader 8.0\reader\plug_ins folder, and rename (delete, copy elsewhere) the 'accessability.api' file. The same file exists, but in slightly different locations, in older version of Acrobat Reader.

Warning: You do this, you won't be able to get Adobe Reader to read your documents aloud.

Don't want to put up with the bloat that Adobe Reader is? Get Foxit Reader. Works only Windows though.
