Right click the shortcut, select Properties and add the following to the beginning of the Target box:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start /high

As an example, a shortcut to notepad will look like this normally:

%windir%\system32\notepad.exe

Adding the above will make it:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c start /high %windir%\system32\notepad.exe

This should work for most programs, but If there are any problems, you will need to change the priority manually.

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you haven't used enough.

This does not work a the path in my case is between quotes

"C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009b\bin\matlab.exe"

i guess it is because the path contain long names

how can we go around that ?

eddieb-

It shouldn't be an issue...if you can't set it by the target, have you tried running a batch file?
i would see if you could figure something out with the option David suggested.

You have spaces in your file path to your matlab.exe

If i'm not mistaken you probably get a command prompt window, but your application doesn't start.

You need to add a name after the start command such as this:

C:WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start "applicationName" /high "C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2009b\bin\matlab.exe"

Good day, is there not a way to make a certain process (explorer) hi priority permanently with out any additional software to be installed that is not microsoft corp. It must keep the hi Priority after reboot. is there not a way to integrate it to the Motherboard Bios?

Sandeep, the questions asks about a "permanent" solution. What you provided is only for the life of the application loaded to memory. When closed and reloaded, your instruction steps need to be repeated (and remembered to be repeated).
