What registry setting determines the extra priority a foreground
application gets over applications which are not in the foreground?

I am thinking of the case where all these tasks have the same priority
value assigned to them. For example they might all be of "normal
priority".

PS: I came across these two documents but they don't actually answer my
question on how to specify the relative priority.

(1) This is a rather basic overview:

(2) This gets a bit closer to the technical side of things but is for
Win2000 (although oddly XP is mentioned in the Summary):
