125. Set CPU Priority

This setting will boost the priority of foreground applications. The tip will override the
default priority setting given to the programs currently running and hence the reader is
advised to take necessary precaution. Though the trick is found to be working fine so far in
all system that I tried; I strongly recommend creating a system restore point and a
registry backup (to be on a safer side) before attempting this tip.

To do the tweaking, navigate through the following registry hive:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl

Modify (or create) a DWORD key named Win32PrioritySeparation and set its value as

00000026 (hex).
