Set Windows XP process priority to boost performance

Setting up process priority can improve the performance of a specific software or application in Windows XP. It is due to the fact that windows gives more priority to one task than the other task specially when you are multitasking. For example i set my firefox.exe process to "high" when i am connected to the internet specifically to give it more priority to access the internet than any other application that might be connecting to the internet such as antivirus updater which works in background.
           Now to boost a particular application or process and to give it more priority over process you need to do the following--

1. Open Windows Task Manager by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESC
2. Navigate to second tab called "PROCESSES" and right click on any process.
3. Select "SET PRIORITY" and set the priority to "above normal" or "high".
4. Don't set process priority to "real-time" as it might lead to system instability.

Whenever you are working on the internet you can partially boost performance like this.Also whenever you want a software to get maximum resources of your pc like video encoding you can use this method.Also use this method for burning cds and dvds to avoid crashed disks. And don't forget to comment if you like this post.
