setting task priority c program

Hi,
I've a c program and i want to run it in Windows OS at higher priority.So when i come across various forums and net resource, there s a possiblity to do task priority handling for our own C program exe file.Could anyone help me on this?
 

Go to a task manager -> process and set higher priority.
 

Hi Thanks for the reply.I tried it and it is working.Is it possible to set the priority from the C program itself by accessing the Windows Os Task Manager from the c program for which i have to set the priority.

Regards,Thangadurai.A
 

You could create new project and start your application in thread and set thread priority ...

I dont remember about threads in C, but with MFC (Microsoft C++ framework) you can easily create thread and set thread priority ...

something like:
Code: 
CWinThread *pThread = AfxBeginThread(MyThreadFunc, NULL,
THREAD_PRIORITY_HIGH,0,this);

UINT MyThreadFunc(LPVOID lParam)
{
ShellExecute (lParam->hwnd, "open", application.exe, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOW);
}
