run an Application at a higher priority?

K

How can I run an Application at a higher priority, from a shorcut icon, or
bat file?

please be clear as you can because all the help I have found on the net
is written for coders!
I want a simple way.

Thanx

Hi,

Sorry, but I don't think you can specify it from those shortcuts. The
application priority has to be part of the program code, otherwise you will
need to change it manually each time you start the application. This is why
all the answers you have found thus far lead to coding.

Type start in help.

In a shortcut
cmd /c start /high program.exe

Start in an internal command to cmd.exe. So you need to start cmd first.

Type cmd /? and start /? in a command prompt (or help).

Batchrun will let you create batch files using a graphical interface.
In the good old days of DOS .bat files took care of this task.
They still do, but they're not exactly user friendly. With Batchrun .brs
batch files you can launch any number of programs or dialup connections
with just a simple click. You can control the starting process with many
properties like priority or run mode and control their behavior a tad.
You can even do more than starting programs with the built-in file
management functions like Copy, Rename, Makedir, Delete and End Process.
Batchrun batch files can be launched from Explorer or placed in StartUp
folder or on the Desktop.
