I want to change the fahcore priority from "low" to "above normal", and i now how to do it manually using the task manager.
The problem i am having is that the priority resets to "low" every time the fahcore executable is executed (like when i re/start my computer), I want to know if there is a way to automate the task of setting process priority every time the software starts.

In most situations, you don't have to bother about priorities ...

Do you have a special need to do that ?

If you set it to above normal, you will succeed in making your computer nearly unresponsive and it won't make FAH run any faster. Don't do it.

Of course it can be automated if you write a program that makes the appropriate operating system calls.

Au contraire.
If you are a bone- headed adventurer and must learn everything the hard way, go ahead and do it.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the challenge of trying to get your computer back after FAH takes control and runs it at 100%.
Don't ask me how I know this.

I beg to differ i know from experience that "real time" makes the computer unresponsive and that "high" can make the computer run like crap.And yes i know that "above normal" doesn't make the FAH run faster however "above normal" gives FAH dedicated processor time making sure that even if i am using 100% of my processor(idle process 0%) doing different things like gaming the FAH will get a significant shear(FAH will work even if there is no idle).Furthermore because it is "above normal"
and all the other applications are usually set to "normal" FAH will have priority over them.
P.S. Its set to "above normal" right now and my pc is running perfectly.

Try "Process Master" from octopod.org, IMHO a "must have" for every folder@home.

Finally a solution that works.TX
