I am trying to permanently change the priority of SETI@home in WinXP Pro so that rather than Low it will be set to Below Normal. I am doing this since Kazaa Lite is taking over all the processing power and when I change the priorities SETI@home gets more processing power and Kazaa Lite is still stable. Although the priority of Kazaa Lite remains at Low, SETI@home keeps reverting back to Low also. I am using Task Manager to change the priority of the programs. Is there a way I can change the startup priority in the registry or use something to keep it changed during the current session?

Thanks,
Justin
 
I have the command line version running on XP, and during the day it runs at low. Before I leave the office I change the priority to above normal and leave it running. I usually get 8 units done per night :)
