How to change I/O priority of a process or thread in Win7?

In order to speed up some process, which are accessing a lot of files, is it possible to give an higher disk priority to this processes ?

I'm working on Win 7.

[Edit] I'm quite sure it's possible, because when running resource monitor, I see a I/O priority column in the Disk activity pane.

Answer 1

Try going into Control Panel then System. Look under Advanced System Settings and select Background Services instead of Programs.

That or boost the process's priority through Task Manager.

Answer 2

No. Windows 7 implements only two I/O priorities, "normal" and "low"

"Low" is intended for things you're not waiting for, e.g. a file indexer running in the background.
