Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to run a program at bootup with the priority set. I just want to have an application that I wrote automatically start up (this I can do), but with the priority set lower than the normal assigned to it.

Thanks,

Erik

Scripts are executed in the order in which they're listed in the properties dialog box.

You can use the start command. (Open a cmd prompt and run start /? for info.)

start /BELOWNORMAL "c:\myProgram.exe"
or
start /LOW "c:\myProgram.exe"

Thanks, and yes, the start command works from a batch file.

Of course, the limitation seems to be using only folders and file names without spaces (UNIX, please save us).

Thanks again.
