Commands in the ‘File’ menu allow you to terminate current process (that is selected in the process pane), change process/thread priority and perform some other actions. Note that you can change priority of and terminate only a real process (not a pseudo process such as DOS VM, Idle or VxD) that is not marked as a system process (see status flag at process pane).

Process CPU Usage /Priority boost enabled |
|
Enable/disable dynamic priority boost for current process/thread (valid under Windows NT/2000/XP only). If dynamic priority boost for current process is enabled, Windows increments base thread priority when process becomes foreground, or does it temporarily after input/output operation or other execution blocking states. Windows does it in order to make application execution more fast and responsive. This item can not disable priority boosting for so called interactive threads containing a message loop. Default state of this item is enabled. |
