is there a way to set the program priority in Windows XP directly by shortcut?
As for now, I start the program and use the Task-Manager to set the priority to low.

You can write a batch file to start your application with the desired priority level:
cmd /c start /<priority> <application>
for example
cmd /c start /low application.exe

The application.exe does start as expected, but when I look in the Task-Manager the priority is still shown as normal. Why is that?– BurkhardOct 21, 2009 at 15:18

With the "upgrade" to SP3 of WinXP it now shows the expected priority.– BurkhardJan 29, 2010 at 11:04
