dont know what is it for

Hugo
It is a subprogram of Adobe Reader one that uses some time to sart up. Speed Launcher loads a part of that program resident so the startuptime of Adobe Reader will be a lot shorter. More information

Remove it if you are low on RAM ie 512M with Vista or 256M with XP etc. Downside is acrobat reader will take a bit longer to launch te first time each session

Sebastian S
Remove it whatever RAM you got, if you want your Windows startup to load quicker. Adobe Reader can be loaded while i.e. browsing the internet, well you can't do that while Windows is loading. A totally unnescessary application in my opinion, and I have NO idea why Adobe didn't warn me about this during installation.

Adobe Reader Starter More information

I used every trick in the book to speed up my PC and was working nicely. Once this was added to my start up list I had time to visit me Granny while waiting start up. Don't use unless you are always on Adobe, or you like visitng your Granny.

It installs with Adobe Reader 8, It makes it quicker to open a .pdf file but I do not recommend you keep this in your start up manager unless you have at least (3gb vista, 1gb xp) of ram and a strong processor, even with out it adobe still opens quick (1-2 sec) on my computer, not for sure why it doesn't ask you if you want to install this files while in installation. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\reader_sl.exe

fine

Sur, mais ralenti le lancement de windows

Daveace69
uses 676.0kb memory ram harmless dosent increas boot time unless lake of ram harmeless

Dudeman
While I do find most adobe programs quite useful, there is no reason for them to start at boot. This one takes resources and is totally unnecessary. If you update, this will re-install itself, so watch for that.

Sir Eric
You can live with out it and you can't live with it. Adobe places it back when opening the program. What a stinker, Adobe is my pal but I perfer to keep it down the street and not at my dinner table.

This Startup Application is unnecessary when you are not using adobe reader that much.

Would not run Adobe Reader after I removed it.

slarttybartfast
safer than some

lohh
crap

Simon Cross
Harmless but unnecessary. Adobe Reader 9 still opens in about a second and pdf files on websites open in a couple of seconds.

Allen
OK.. say it is unnecessary. How am I to uninstall it exclusively i.e. without also removing adobe reader.

coinman1972
I've shit-canned adobe reader in favor of Fox-it Reader. Do a search for this un-bloated app on www.pcworld.com.

poof daddy
UDMA defaulted in PIO mode now Adobe sl_reader.exe is giving me errors, start up taking forever with task tray errors

Is used to make loading of Adobe Reader faster. If you open a lot of .pdf files may be of use, but normally this is not needed. However, if you start Adobe Reader once, the system will keep it cached for a while (or if you have enough RAM, even until you restart), so it's mostly helpful for the first run of Adobe Reader.

TechDude
not required but some users like it. loads Adobe Reader faster.

cracklePop
This is a registry setting in the RUN group. It noticeably slows down XP startup, and is more junk chewing up ram. Find it here: "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher=C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe". Wouldn't it be nice if this was a setup option somewhere?

John Paul Hurren
I don't think it's necessary. Adoe will load in 2 - 3 secs anyway!

Willow
Permet de démarrer plus vite Adobe Reader mais sincèrement je n'ai jamais constaté d'accélération. à mon avis inutile.

Zé Braziu
É bem inutilzinho, mesmo! Os aplicativos Adobe abrem de todo jeito, rapidinho, tudo chuchú beleza. Pode arrancar fora esse aí, que não faz falta...

Gordon
Not required but safe

Frank
Apparently the main program is so bad that it needs a helper. Better stay away until you start the main program.

es un ausiliar para que se inicien mas rapido los documentos en pdf de adobe en tu pc y se abran rapido en internet pero no es necesario en realidad porque adobe se inicia de todas formas en un par de segundos no lo elimines solo desactivalo ya que cuando uses adobe lo bolvera a reintalar eso es si no usas contantemente ese programa si lo usas mucho es mejor que tengas un gb de memoriaram si usas xp y dos en vista para que no tengas que esperar mucho cuando inicies tu pc

bokkie
quite unnecessary. Saves you just a few seconds if you open a pdf file, but for the rest it's useless

Noelle Bush
Safe, but unecessary, crapware.

john hurren
Only leave on if you frequently us adobe reader. It slows down windows startup considerably.

pl0x
Un required, just wait the few seconds extra when you actually do use adobe reader, it's so rarely used anyway, it doesn't warrant having it start on startup constantly.

Joan
Unecessary

Adobe Reader Speed Launcher mais ile sert pas grand chose si ce n'est ralentir la machine. On n'utilise pas trs souvent le reader d'ADOBE

DK
Unless the main reason you use a computer is viewing PDFs, this program is pointless to have at start-up.

Greg
It is a terrible waste! I can't even go to a directory with PDF files in it without it popping up on me! I close it down and it pops right back up. Adobe tells you to drag it out of startup, but it isn't in startup. I disabled it in msconfig and it still happens. Adobe has hit a brand new low!!

The Acrobat Reader Speed Launcher is added to your registry startup when Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed. It supposedly increases the speed the reader launches, but in actuality the benefit is negligible. However, it will definitely cause the rest of your system to bog down. I highly recommend removing it. BEWARE: Every update to the reader (automatic or manual) will cause it to be added back to the registry so it launches at each startup. Shame on you, Adobe!

Fernando Torensan
Remov-lo se voc estiver com pouca ou seja, 512 MB de RAM com o Vista ou XP com 256M etc Desvantagem Acrobat Reader vai demorar um pouco para lanar primeira vez que te cada sesso

Emiliano
Serve per aprire più velocemente Adobe Reader,se lo disattivi l'avvio del tuo computer non sarà affatto più veloce perchè utilizza pochissima memoria. More information

It also checks for update. Totaly useless, remove it.

It's a bit rich that this so-called "Speed Launcher" claims to help Acrobat Reader open that little bit quicker. Even with it running, Acrobat take ages to launch.

Nando
Serve para abrir o Adobe Reader mais rápido. Penteléssimos de segundos mais rápido! Para quê? Há tempos que não o tenho mais saindo na inicialização e os produtos Adobe continuam funcionado do mesmo modo. Totalmente desnecessário a não ser para comer memória RAM.

dilip vadgama
it is not neccesary app.

Ryan
Causes slowdown, with no real advantages.
