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.

You might want to try the following;

Right click BCB_LOW.bat and select Edit from the menu.
Delete the contents.
Copy and paste the following command into Notepad.

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

Save the batch file to your desktop and see if it works
now.

Good luck

It worked! The quotes were there because I copied them from
the Target
item above (quotes are around the entire path.) When I moved
them in
the batch file as recommended, it worked perfectly, and it
starts up
in LOW priority.

Many thanks to all!

Dean

You're welcome.
