Setting Program Priority Win XP

[Maveric169]

Ok, here is the deal. I tried to change the priority of of one of my programs from low to high. I make the change and go to check it to make sure that it has been changed and it is back at low. I cannot find anyway to permently change the program priority!

Does anyone have any ideas? Am I missing a step here somewhere?

Welcome to the forums, Maveric169

Don't know if it is possible to change the priority of a program permanently. However you can make a batchfile to start the program with a preset priority. Type this and save it as anyname.bat. Then doubleclick this file instead of the program icon.

@ECHO OFF
Start /<priority class> <path><filename>

Example:
@ ECHO OFF
Start /high c:\windows\notepad.exe

If you are storing the batch file in the same directory as the file you're running, you don't need the path. If the batch file was being stored in c:\windows, and you wanted to run notepad, you could use the form:

@ECHO OFF
Start /<priority class> <filename>
