Re: Linrad and Tac32

[Roger Rehr <comcast.net; w3sz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried it but this webpage suggests a way to do it:

http://club.cdfreaks.com/f3/keep-process-priority-settings-xp-155025/

There is also a widget that I haven't tried, of which the demo version 
is supposed to allow you to set priorities for 3 processes so that they 
always come up with the desired priority.  It is available many places 
on the web, including:
http://process-priority-optimizer.3delite.alienpicks.com/

Those would be my two thoughts ;)
