Default run an Application at a higher priority?

How can I run an Application at a higher priority, from a shorcut icon, or
bat file?

please be clear as you can because all the help I have found on the net
is written for coders!
I want a simple way.

Thanx

Hi,

Sorry, but I don't think you can specify it from those shortcuts. The
application priority has to be part of the program code, otherwise you will
need to change it manually each time you start the application. This is why
all the answers you have found thus far lead to coding.

Type start in help.

In a shortcut
cmd /c start /high program.exe

Start in an internal command to cmd.exe. So you need to start cmd first.

Type cmd /? and start /? in a command prompt (or help).

Good info David, thanks - I hadn't thought to try that.
