It still does, running a file called \Program Files\Adobe Reader 9.0\Reader\Reader_sl.exe from the HK Local Machine Registry Hive.

That said, it loads a lot faster here (about 4 seconds for a first run, down to about 2 seconds once cached) than Adobe 8 did. (My desktop is a Win XP Pro SP3 machine with 1GB of RAM and multiple 7200 RPM drives.)

I haven't tested it without the pre-load. I can afford the required resources to use that.
