    I'm trying to cut the amount of startup programs to speed up the computer. I was wondering about these two:

    Adobe Acrobat
    Java Platform

    Thanks.

    Nope for both. If you do need them, they will launch when another program calls for them.

    Acrobat is probably for a speedlaunch application and the Java one is probably to check for updates.
