How to start the Fritz/Shredder8 GUI at "BelowNormal" process priority This works with Windows XP. It may work with some prior windows versions too, but I haven't tested it. Copy the following 4 lines into Notepad and save as a file named "Chess.bat" in your Windows folder: @echo off cls C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c start /belownormal C:\Progra~1\ChessB~1\ChessP~1\ChessProgram8.exe -engine exit If the path to your ChessProgram8.exe is different, then modify the path above accordingly. Then, make a shortcut to "Chess.bat" for your desktop, or wherever you want to place it that's handy. When you start the GUI with this new shortcut, ChessProgram8.exe will automatically run at "BelowNormal" process priority. That will make it friendlier with your system, especially if you want to multitask. In other words you shouldn't get any unusual delays or freezes with other software or operations. Of course if you don't have any of those kinds of problems, then this fix isn't needed. WP
