Set Priority on startup menu programs?

[Guest]

I have a program that I want to automatically startup, but I don't want it
eating up all my CPU time when it runs.

Is there a way to set the run priority to "low" for a program that you start
automatically by putting it into the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup folder?

Thank you

You can use start command in a shell script; something like
start "" /low "some program"
start /?
for the syntax

Well, You can set a priority to a program, but I would not recommend it
though. Go to "Task Manager" then to "Processes" then right click on the
process to set priority. Remember, this is dangerous. I do not recommend it!
Good Luck.
