Hi all:


DOes anybody know how to determine the base priority of a program, something like this WinID does http://www.dennisbabkin.com/php/download.php?what=WinID
It's an interesting piece of software, I ran it on my WinXP and it shows that task bar has base priority higher than normal programs, as well as task manager -- I didn't know that. Also is it possible to set this base priority?

Any help will be appreciated!


PS. Search in MSDN did not yeild any ways to do it....

Use the GetPriorityClass and SetPriorityClass functions to get and set the priority of a process. You need to find the process handle.

PS. No need to put your question in multiple times in different areas of the forum.

Thanks! I checked both GetPriorityClass and SetPriorityClass functions in the MSDN. It's still not clear for me how to get base priority out of priority class? Or, are those the same?

Sorry, I didn;t mean to post in different areas, I'm just desperate to find an answer -- I'm totally confused.

Desperate people rob banks. It doesn't make it compliant with rules and laws.

You got more than you paid for, and your rudeness in posting without reading the guidelines was repaid in kind. I can't actually see you on a streetcorner in Tempe being a lazy ass spanger, but you're definitely a thoughtless type who thinks their personal priorities trump all else. Grow up and learn not to cop out and make excuses when you fuck up.

Dumbasses named bauer is my problem, but it's only a nit. I won't lose any sleep over you, I just don't let worthless shitbirds slide by with no comment.
