Well, I just tried to set NOD32's GUI exe task or process to affinity. It
wouldn't let me do it with *Access Denied*.
On the other and I could select other tasks and set the affinity.
That tells me that you cannot set affinity on all takes and some tasks will
deny setting affinity.

I don't think you can set affinity on some tasks regardless of the

BTW, I could't get that runas in the link above to work for task manager.
