Hi , Excuse me for this OT stuff. Thought this will be pretty useful. Annoyed by frequently having to wait 10-20 seconds for adobe to load when all you want to do was view a single page ! Here's how to do it: Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0(or whatever version)\Reader . Move all files from the "plug_ins" folder to "optional" folder. (Cut and Paste). CUT and PASTE . DO NOT COPY/PASTE. You're done. It loads very fast now, like notepad. Regards, Prem -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
