Increase CPU Priority

Time Required: 1 Minute, 5 Minutes, 10 Minutes , 15 Minutes

Notes: (Must be familiar with Windows registry.) Window XP will open any new window (including program) in its own memory and in separate process priority. (Increase stability and speed but use much more RAM than before.)

Warnings: This is dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I do not take responsibility for anything that you do to your computer that harms it or any files on it in any way.
