PCTechTalk - View Single Post - Setting Priority on Start up for Processes?

Cirga · 04-23-2003, 05:35 PM

I was curious if anyone knew a way to automatically configure Win2kPro to make a process with "X" name be put on low priority anytime it starts up? I know that there are programs that can do this.. but was curuious if there was another way with just windows system tools?

the Process i am trying to keep on low priority is NTVDM. This is the oen used for command prompt... one of my software programs I work with alot is dos based (cant give it up) but over PCAnywhere.. when I use it it creates a huge amount of lag.. and htat is because NTVDM hogs the CPU usage.

When I lowe r it to below normal its not bad at all.

Any help apprciated
