Hey All, I have AR7 installed and whenever i open windows explorer and just select a .PDF file, the icon changes to an hourglass for a few seconds.
I DO NOT like that behavior at all because i don't know what it's actually doing.
The only occurs when selecting PDF files after Reader 7 has been installed.
No such thing with 6.0 or when selecting any other file types.
I think this is strange. I want to remove whatever activex or dcom function Adobe installed in my system that triggers this behavior.
If you notice the same on your system please let me know, and even better, if you know a way to disable this prefetch/preload thingy.
Thanks a lot.
