w2k task manager (W2K)

[ewe]

can anyone tell me if there's a way to permenantly asign a higher process priority for an application in the task manager(processes tab) so that i dont have to manually change it myself whenever i use the program

No. there is no way to permanently assign a specific process priority to an application, at least not to my knowledge. But you could use the start command to launch the application in anyway that takes your fancy.

If I wanted to launch Notepad with an abovenormal priority class, I’d create a new shortcut and enter this in the target field;

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c start /abovenormal notepad.exe

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /c launches the command interpreter with the “/c” option (/c closes the command window once it finishes. At a command windows type; cmd /? For more options)

“start /abovenormal notepad.exe” launches Notepad with a priority of abovenormal. At a command window, type start /? For more options.
