;This file will change the CPU Priority higher than it is
;on windows 95/98/ME machines
;
;To use it place this text in a txt file
;then rename this file with the .reg extension
;instead of .txt
;Then click on it and merge it into the Registry.
;Restart your computer
;Back up the registry before use.
;



REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD\BIOS]

"CPUPriority"=dword:00000001

What exactly does it do?

Has anyone done this before? If so, tell me if anything bad happened to your PC at all. Cuz my computer is screwed up enough as it is. I dont want to take any chances of making it worse.

er wait...they have this backwards, you control a specific programs priority to CPU time, not the other way around. I don't think that registry change will do anything for you.

All CPU priority does is force the Kernal32.DLL to give more time to a particular program. This can and likely will slow windows down a lot since it's a poor premptive OS design (really poor).

CPU priority WILL speed up things if you are playing a game you can increase the priority of the game for example.
