Hello,<br />
<br />
Is there a way to set a windows process priority through VB (lower/higher its priority)?<br />
<br />
What if there are two processes with the same name?<br />
For example, two instances of ms word (winword)?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Set Windows Process Priority through VB?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
