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....

Look inot these API's to start with:

These work at the thread level --
GetThreadPriority
SetThreadPriority

Process level:
GetPriorityClass
SetPriorityClass

Thanks, but still how to get base priority out of priority level and class those functions return?
