Forcing Priority

Hello,

Is there any way to permanently
set the priority to process / programs.

for example, I have a tv tuner card
installed for vista 32.

each time I start the program
to watch tv on my screen,

I find a need to set it's priority
high from a priority of normal
via the task manager

its somewhat annoying to
nurse made vista ultimate
in this manner.

is there a way to set the
process to "high"?

otherwise, "normal" priority
allows the image to be
interrupted.

thanks for any ideas.

Re: Forcing Priority

You can do this with the "start" command eg

start "" /high "notepad.exe"
