I have exactly the same problem - window Acrobat.com opens at boot on XP sp3. Very annoying. So, I went to MSCONFIG and unchecked AdobeUpdateManager. The problem solved......sort of. If you look at the MSCONFIG entry, AdobeUpdateManager is launched by command C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AdobeUpdateManager.exe AcRdB7_1_0 located in SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. I am no expert at this, but assuming that the "location" is actually a registry entry, then it would make sense to look for the command there. Interestingly enough, it wasn't there. I wonder if the whole problem caused by a previously uninstalled v.7 of the Reader (was there with new PC)? Should v.9 be installed over v.7 or the old version had to be removed first? Should v.7 been upgraded to v.8 first? Hmmm....
