Process Priority

[Peter A.]

What's the difference with the Process Priorities in the Task Manager (i.e. High, Above Normal, Normal, etc.)?

It's covered in Task Manager's help file:
<quote>
Changing the priority of a process can make it run faster or slower
(depending on if you raise or lower the priority), but it can also
adversely effect the performance of other processes.
</end of quote>

Have been running XP since it was released (and for a while before that)
and have never had the need to change the priority of a program or a
process. An example where one might consider using these settings: If
struggling to get good results, raising the priority of a program
processing a multimedia conversion could be beneficial while that task is
running.
