Permanently setting process priority?

[Jack]

I am attempting to permanently change process priorities for certain
apps on XP sp3 so that when I start them they start with a custom
priority of my choosing rather than with the default priority of
'Normal' assigned by XP.

I have tried both Prio and SetPriority, but neither app will permanently
assign process priorities. When the app which is assigned a priority
other than the default is closed and reopened, it reopens with the
default priority of Normal rather than with the one of my choosing.

I have .NET 2.0 installed, which is needed for SetPriority.

Prio: http://www.prnwatch.com/prio.html
SetPriority: http://www.sunsplash.org/software/setpriority/

I have also tried creating batch file of this kind:

cmd /c start /AboveNormal appname.exe

described here: http://www.petri.co.il/forums/showthread.php?t=2010

The batch file started the app, but the process priority was Normal
rather than AboveNormal.

Can anyone shed any light on why these methods might not be working?
Would any particular service need to be enabled for these process
priority-setting methods to work correctly?
