Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This application latches onto your Windows' Task Manager and provides a few more choices to manage processes. Prio integrates itself into your Task Manager and has no interface of its own. In the processes tab, the program highlights processes with green if they have a valid digital signature and red if they don't. Prio adds options to the right-click menu to validate a process and to save an assigned priority. When available, additional information such as file path and publisher is displayed when you place your cursor over a process. Prio adds Services and TCP/IP tabs, and with the first you can start, stop, or pause services, or change their start-up mode. The TCP/IP tab displays information about current connections. Anyone looking for more options for the Task Manager will appreciate this freeware program.Publisher's description

Version: Prio 1.9.7
Pros: A small program but a great tool, one of those that you really wonder why shouldn't be already embedded in any OS.
Cons: none found

Version: Prio 1.9.7
"Unmasks those weird process names!"
Pros: Quickly color-codes process names that bear a second look as to their legitimacy.
Cons: It does need to access the net to look up the process names, and report their affiliation. (My Zone Alarm snitches on this.)
Summary: Saves consternation when trying to determine the parentage of those cryptic processes that show up in Task Manager. Hover your cursor over one, and a tip pops up saying (usually) what program it belongs to, and its publisher. Sure beats trying to ... read more >>

Version: Prio 1.9.7
Pros: A simple Task Manager "save" program
Cons: I have not found any wrong with the program
Summary: I have a recording program that is a processor hog, but shouldn't be. Tech support could not solve the problem. Prio solved this issue for me. Great little program.
