Managing Windows processes 2004-06-09 - By Sebastian Faber
Back
Hi Bernard,
I don't know any solution with standard-DOS. But there is a small tool out
"nice.exe" which is a DOS implementation of the unix command. With this tool
you can change the prioprity of a running task - but you have to know the
process-ID (which you can get with ps.exe | grep xsi ....)
nice.exe is freeware - you can download it at:

Thanks a lot Sebastian.
Yes, I'm looking for a Windows solution.
That said, do you know if you can lower the priority of an existing thread?
Thanks
Bernard
