Setting thread priority to low(est)

I don't think there is. You may want to execute the worker code in a
separate thread; that way you can control the priority. Good luck.

I have a couple of small single-thread Console utilities doing cpu-intensive stuff. Is there an easy way to set the program execution priority to LOW
from within the program ? Now I pause the things first and invoke
TaskManager and manually set the priority... A bit cumbersome.

Use the Process class to GetCurrentProcess. Then use that process's
public property PriorityClass to set the priority of the process.

Hi,

Take a look at Process class, here you have a PriorityClass property that
you may use for it.

Also try this line:
Thread.CurrentThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.BelowNormal;
Hope this help,
