High priority program all the time?

[Trifid]

Is there a way to set a program to high priority all the time?


When I play Toca race driver 2, if I want to have force feedback on I have to press ctrl. alt. and delete, and set its priority to high in order to play it. If I don't windows does something that causes huge lag.

Can it be done?

Thanks in advanced.

Benzimm86:

I was looking at things like that, but I don't really like the program, I was hoping it could be done using Windows.

I have had a look around, but I got completly lost in the XP pro admin tools, where I found a graph that I was looking for before, I know can map the amount of memory I have left.

I will look for a guide on how to do it.

More replies are welcome if you know exactly how to do it.

i would think there would have to be something in the registry. i will look around to see what i can find.

almost an hour later...

this really doesnt make sense. doesnt the registry hold every bit of info your computer uses? it has to be in there some where.

should this really be in the hardware section?

You can make a batch file or something. I remember seeing it to make the Counter Strike server run at high priority.
