How do I set iTunes on my PC to load with the highest processor priority settings?

I can do it after its loaded from Task Manager manually, but I'd like it to be automagically set correctly when i start the app.

Don't take this the wrong way but... why?

I think... ohh god... tip of tounge, called something like Task Commander might be able to do this but not sure.


If i have the machine doing other things whilst i'm working, iTunes starts to stutter. I'd prefer iTunes to be interupted and my other non processor critical apps to take a momentary hit.

I'll look up Task Commander. Thx

Task Manager / Process / right click on process name (iTunes.exe or whatever) Set Priority / High (Highest will really make other things suffer!)

task commander seemed to bring the machine to its knees. sigh.
