Thanks Dwarden.

I'll test this application. Some remarks:

1. Changing the process priority could let to Windows instability. It's not a task for the average Joe.

2. Very good additions to the traditional Windows Task Manager.

3. Silent Elevation: seems a very good UAC customization. People can use UAC more silently.
Quote
It happens that you have to often launch a software under administrative access level (e.g. Task Manager or Visual Studio) and every time go through UAC (User Access Control) request. However for safety reason it would be wrong to disable UAC. In such cases the new functionality of Prio "Silent Elevation" is very helpful. It allows specifying a given software for the administrative launch without UAC request. This feature significantly improves the usability without threatening the system safety.

I only MS would get their finger out and make UAC more configurable, user friendly, like this ability to have silent elevation (remember your previous decision, etc.), then people would be less likely to disable it, like me.

Though I use sandboxie for all my internet facing applications to limit risk on my win7 netbook. So I may give this a trial on my win7 netbook.

The silent elevation simple does not work... ::)
It has some hours to be dropped of my system...

yeah it's partly functional on the W7 SP1 64bit ...

the digital certificate and UAC elevation maybe isn't working (can't tell don't use that useless feature of OS) ...

priority saving seems works, wish it had cpu and core affinity saving too

so maybe it's working on 32bit? or just Vista ... that would be sad :(

the TCP/IP tab in Task Manager is working and very handy

Sometimes, the number counts... If nobody heard about a piece of software, sometimes, it's better not bet that much on it.
