How to start a GUI program with "low" priority ?

[Paul Barasoa]

I want to start a program with a "low" priority.
When I click normally on the program icon it starts at level "normal".
Is there a way to start it with a reduced priority?

I am thinking about either to prepend a prefix in the shortcut parameter field like

cmd.exe ... start /LOW .... myprogram.exe

or to use a monitor program similar to process explorer/Task manager to lower the priority

or an 3rd party program as interceptor between user click and called program

Does anyone have experiences ?

Use the start /low command.
