Syntax

ProcessPriority(ARGUMENT)

where ARGUMENT is one of the following:

High High CPU priority. It is not advised to use this for MyDefrag, because it will use nearly all available CPU time.
AboveNormal CPU priority above the Normal and below the High priorities
Normal The standard CPU priority of all Windows programs. This is the default for MyDefrag.
BelowNormal CPU priority below the Normal and above the Low priorities.
Low Low CPU priority. With this setting MyDefrag will only run when the system is idle. This is the default for the MyDefrag screensaver (Windows automatically runs all screensavers in this priority class).
Background Background processing priority. This setting will lower the resource (I/O) scheduling priority and the CPU priority to "Low". The result of this setting is that other programs will get faster access to the disks. This setting is not supported on Windows 2000/2003/XP.
