   Purpose : launch application with specified priority class (default "idle")

   Reason : stops cpu hungry apps from making the rest of  a win32 system
            sluggish thereby getting better user experience and more
            practical/usable multi-tasking

   Example : Outlook express takes time (and cpu) to switch to big news group.
               It makes the rest of the system almost unusable.

   USAGE :

      place in windows directory (c:\winnt for NT4).

      commandline :

         prioritylauncher [-i|h|n|r[w]] <target>

            options (optional) :

               i=idle (this is the default anyway)
               h=high (bad news)
               n=normal (why are you bothering?)
               r=realtime (prepare for a cold reboot)

               w=wait till loaded before setting priority

            Only the w option is likely to be of any interest. The others are
            present in the interests of completeness.


      Basic example :

         Edit a shortcut to an app

         change "Target" from

         "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

         to

         PriorityLauncher.exe "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

         If the app hasn't got it's icon setup properly then "change icon". Use
         the original target to goto the right icon file (generally).

   Example with options :

         PriorityLauncher.exe -rw "C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe"

         which waits until the app has loaded and then sets it's priority to
         realtime, which is likely to be catastrophic.
