Enter "help start" at command prompt for others. You may be able to enter this start command somewhere in Project/Settings in the IDE. ------------ And now a word from our sponsor ------------------ Want to have instant messaging, and chat rooms, and discussion groups for your local users or business, you need dbabble! -- See http://netwinsite.com/sponsor/sponsor_dbabble.htm ----

Use a direct call to the OS API's for process control. The Win32 API documentation is on the CVF distribution CD. --

Otherwise, you would have to use the OS API call from within the app itself to change its own priority I think. If there's a way to encode a desired priority into an .exe header, I don't know about it--a search of MSDN would undoubtedly uncover that tidbit of info there were such a thing; I've never looked for that specifically. -- |
