Hello,,

How do I use TaskManager to reduce the priority of a running program ?

Thanks

KK

Hi KRK,

This is really easy to do, simply go to Task Manager, click "Processes"

Highlight the process you want to alter and right click, choose 'set
priority'

I'd personally avoid changing any Microsoft OS based process priorites
though...


Hope that helps,

Regards,

Kris

Hello KK

This will help show you how to, but not all program processes will b
allowed to change the priority level for them. Sometimes the progra
will have it's own setting to change the priority level as well, so yo
might check there first

Hope this helps
