Here is a sample code that does it (tested). #include /* for some specific Windoz calls */ { HANDLE WinId ; WinId = GetCurrentProcess ( ) ; /* get my Windows HANDLE */ SetPriorityClass ( WinId , REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS ) ; /* set priority to REAL TIME CLASS */ } The 4 defined priority classes are: NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS, REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS. Note. The include is from an old program, it might have changed to , I did not compile it lately, and I can't do it here.
