Create a batch file with the following line:

Hello all,

I regularly run Borland's compiler (CBuilder 6.0) at work as a full
time developer, but when it compiles it hogs nearly all of the
machine's CPU time, and all other apps are very unresponsive. If I set
the priority level of the process to LOW, then everything works fine
and the program still runs just the same.

How can I set the priority level on an application such as this? I
right-click on the shortcut and can't see anything related to priority
levels.

Thanks!

Thanks! I have the new batch file (BCB_LOW.bat) on my desk-top with
the following contents:

start/LOW "C:\Program Files\Borland\CBuilder6\Bin\bcb.exe"

When I double-click the icon for this .bat file, all I get is a
command prompt which takes me to the:

documents and settings\Dean\Desktop

directory.

Can you tell me what I'm missing here? I copied the path over from the
properties dialog for the app itself.
