But try to find a scoop like that in The New York Times. Try to find a scoop like that in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal! Notepad will still start with Normal priority, but in a matter of seconds that priority will be changed to Below Normal. But this script does the next best thing: it monitors for new instances of Notepad and, any time it finds one, it immediately changes the priority of the process. We couldn’t find a simple, surefire way to permanently change the priority of a process. Pretty exciting news, huh? And if that’s not enough here’s another scoop for you: today’s column features a script that can automatically change the priority of any new instances of Notepad that get started on a computer. Well, she’s bigger ( taller, anyway) than the Scripting Guy who writes this column. After all, she’s big (way bigger than any of us), and she’s mean.Įd itor’s Note. But we have to go along with what the Scripting Editor says. Personally we still think that you will win a copy. The Scripting Editor has suggested that we change that statement to the following:Įnter the Games and you might win a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate. Heck, enter the Games and you will win a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate! Enter a single event in the Scripting Games, and you’ll be eligible to win a free copy of Windows Vista Ultimate. Unless you take part in the 2008 Winter Scripting Games (February 15 th through March 3 rd, right here in the Script Center). But that’s life, right? After all, Windows Vista Ultimate is packed with cool new features like Windows Media Center and BitLocker Drive Encryption, and cool new features like that don’t come free. Well, OK, the suggested retail price is actually $399 for many people, however, it might as well be $958,000. That’s a lot of money for an operating system. What did we tell you?) Windows Vista Ultimate is pretty darn cool, but it’s also a little pricey the suggested retail price for a single copy is $958,000.

(Don’t believe us? Then count the number of checkmarks on this page. That’s right, Windows Vista Ultimate, the, well, ultimate operating system. (Now that we’ve won a TABBIE Award, well, the Pulitzer is about the only award we haven’t won.) That’s why we decided to win you skeptics over by presenting you with yet another scoop: in addition to all the other great prizes being handed out during the upcoming Scripting Games we’re going to be giving away 50 copies of Windows Vista Ultimate! Well, now that you mention it, yes, we do want a Pulitzer prize for journalism. “What do you want, a Pulitzer Prize for journalism?” “OK, so you had one scoop,” you’re thinking. Of course, we realize that many of you are still a little skeptical.
