Process Priority

[aeroplane22]

I was just curious if it was possible to set a permanent .exe process priority. I play a game where I ctrl-alt-delete and set the priority to High to prevent hitching and lag.

Is it possible to set it to high by default? So I don't have to do it every time I start.. ?


Also, what is the difference between Realtime and High priority settings?



(Vista x64)

Thanks

I don't think there is a way to set default process priority without a 3rd party tool, I would highly suggest against using Realtime process priority though, as it runs all your system resources in realtime with the process you use, this could cause other processes to stop responding, or respond sluggish.

Thanks carnageX.

That's definitely worth looking into, though it's not a "set and forget it", but I wasn't expecting that either.

No problem, glad to help. I didn't think it'd be easy either, unless somebody knows a different way heh.
