Hello
I am using Windows Vista, and there are two applications in particular that I want to change the CPU priority. Windows Backup, and Defragmenter, as far as I am concerned, run at the regular CPU priority levels.
I read, after Googling, that the only way to change a tasks priority is to manually set them or use a command line parementer with the Start command and a batch file with scheduling (not quite what I want). I also read that you can download programs that will monitor task activity, and will change the CPU priority for you.
Since I have a laptop, my hard drive RPM's aren't the greatest on earth, so, defragmenting slows it down, thus, why I dont currently use the automatic defragment, but I do use backups. How can I make it so that the backup task, and the defragmenter tasks load at a low CPU utilization? (Rather, what is the best way?)
Thanks,
Zylstra
