Permanantly Set Priority on Process

Hey, i was wondering how to permanantly set the priority on a process. If you don't know what i'm talking about, it's when you press CTRL ALT DELETE and the task manager pops up, then go to Processes, highlight one of them, and click set priority. On mine, Nero used to be set on "high", but somehow it's on normal now. Any ideas?

You can use a BATch file to initiate the process.
Eg:
CMD /C START/{priority} {path to program}
Where {path to program} is the fully qualified path to the program you wish to start and {priority} is one of Realtime, High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal, Low
And, you most likely do NOT want to use the REALTIME option, and want to be careful using the HIGH option.
