XP- how do i start any app in high prior

[solaris]

what is it i put into a shortcuts target to get it to start in high priority mode?

 

[Osiris]

The only way i can think of is by the task manager

 

[Inaris]

cmd.exe -c "start 'App' /high"

That should do it...

 

[solaris]

cmd.exe -c "start 'App' /high"

That should do it...

so for example in the game farcry shortcut target i would type
D:\Farcry\Bin32\FarCry.exe -c "start 'App' /high ..?

i want to cuz i notice a much higher frame rate when i do that but want it to automatically.
however high priority doesnt seem to effect benchmark tests or some programs.

you don't want to do that unless you have 2 processors.. I have seen nothing but bad things come from messing with the priorities on a client machine.... god speed my friend, and good luck.

no it works good on my pc, however some pc's will have instability problems, i have high priority in context menu and i get much higher fps in games, i just wanted to make sure thats the correct way to insert it into shortcut before i do it.

 

[Inaris]

cmd.exe -c start D:\Farcry\Bin32\FarCry.exe /high

that is what it should look like...
although, I think you will need to create a .bat file to lauch that... I'll have to look at this a little...

yea, best thing to do is create a batch file with the command

start d:\farcry\bin32\farcry.exe /high

That should do it for you. Then you can create a shortcut or whatever to that batch file.

hope that helps...

that didnt work...however thanks to your last post i was able to search better in google about high priority in batch files and found my answer. the correct command in batch file would look as follows.

@echo off
cd /d "D:\Farcry\Bin32\"
start /high FarCry.exe

cool... Glad you found it.
