increasing process priority

[jc stanhill]

i would like to increase the process priority of some
applications w/o decreasing system stability. Is there
some way of doing this BEFORE the application is loaded,
so that on the process tab of task manager, the particular
application priority is indicated higher than when loaded
"normally"?

Thank You,
JC Stanhill

Check out "start /?" from a command prompt.
Note that any processes that you run at HIGH priority can
decrease system stability, as that is the priority that
most system processes run at - so if your high priority
process has a problem and starts chewing up the CPU, you
might have trouble regaining control.

Never use the REALTIME priority level, it is almost
guaranteed to cause stability problems.
