Hey guys,
i realize that i can set a certain process priority through task manager and right
click on the process. however, that means i would have to do that every time. does
anyone know a way that i can program the computer to make that process a certain
priority level automatically?
i have searched around on the web and i see a lot results talking about a SetThreadPriority()
function... however, i dont quite understand how to use it. experts out there, please
help me out~ thanks a lot in advance! :)
Will~

Works fine here.
- Checking the right process?
- Does this process spawn another process to do its work?

so yea... i think mainapp.exe is the process that is spawned by madden05.exe
and i correct what i said, i did this:
start /high madden05.exe. I did NOT use mainapp.exe
sorry for the confusion... and it wont let me use mainapp.exe as the process name

Then I don't believe it is possible unless you have some kind of monitor running
in the background. To my knowledge, no such program exists. I could write one, but
I'm strapped for time right now. (My policy is that paying jobs take precedence over
free jobs, and that jobs I want done take precedence over jobs others want done...)
