[DUG] Program Priority

[Struan Judd]

If you have the necessary permissions you can use the following Win23
functions. Found courtesy of Platform SDK where you'llhave to check to get
the useful constant values etc.

HANDLE OpenProcess(
  DWORD dwDesiredAccess,
  BOOL bInheritHandle,
  DWORD dwProcessId
);

And

BOOL SetPriorityClass(
  HANDLE hProcess,
  DWORD dwPriorityClass
);

Hi 

I have the code for finding the various processing running on a PC, but once
you have their pid numbers is there a call you can make to change its
running priority from normal to low? You can do this via the Task Manager
and doing Set Priority, but this requires used intervention, I would like
have it automated.
