  TyiarramarieJanuary 16, 2015

  Pros

  None, wont install on windows 7 :(

• Doesn't work on Windows 8.1

  beer_thirtyDecember 22, 2014

  Pros

  Seems like a good idea, if it worked.

  Cons

  Installs fine on Windows 8.1, but doesn't attach itself to Task Manager.

  Summary

  Devs, update for Windows 7, 8, and 10 compatibility and I'll definitely use this.

• Would give it 0 but I can't

  gkasicaDecember 31, 2013

  Pros

  None that I can think of.

  Cons

  Installation to a W2K3 SP2 server caused the machine to repeatedly BSOD with the error NO MORE IRP STACK LOCATIONS. Only way to get ride of this thing was Safe Mode Without Networking and Uninstall

  Summary

  Piece of non running Junk.

• Still doesn't do what it promises

  KevinProvJune 2, 2011

  Pros

  Yes, priority is saved for SOME processes, but not all.

  Cons

  It let's you go thru the motions, showing nothing to indicate that a particular process priority is not being saved. I thought this update would be better. But it's the same.

  Summary

  I just wanted to save the priority of media player classic, so when it opens, higher-rate videos play better. But it will not save the setting for this item. I don't understand why it wouldn't. If anyone knows of a similar product, but one that works, please tell in a reply. Thanks.

• software added new tabs to the task manager of window.

  capitanfloriusNovember 16, 2010

  Pros

  In practice, however, the program does not do great things. The system advice that changes can cause instability, therefore it' better leave all things as they are.

  Cons

  Nothing of bad to refer

  Summary

  Little utility but little use!

• great tool!!!

  albertodonatiDecember 21, 2009

  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

• Unmasks those weird process names!

  dedeucerAugust 12, 2009

  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 remember them all, or doing an internet search for the unfamiliar actors. All this applies whether or not you want to assign or change priorities of process.

• Solved my problem

  ssyorkAugust 10, 2009

  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.

• Does what it says.

  SomniisNovember 17, 2005

  Pros

  - Simple and clean install, no ad-aware or such things. <p> <p>- Adds two new tabs to the Task Manager ("Services" and "TCP/IP") which are useful in seeing what is running and when. <p> <p>- This program highlights accepted programs (determined by the user or the program) in green and non-accepted programs in red. The non-accepted programs can be changed to green when you know what they are. Very useful if another program you have not marked as green shows up. (note that being red doesn't do anything but let you know this program has not been checked by you.)

  Cons

  - Really only useful for power-users who like to define every processes' priority.
