Write a small vba-script with a text-editor to save the sfp-priority setting (without starting the task-manager):
start /low c:SFPAppBinSFP.exe
Save this file as "SFP.bat" and use it for starting sfp...

Thanks André, I didn't know that

I made it
"start /low C:/SFP/App/Bin/SFP.exe -s"
...to start the Startup project instead of my large default project. If allows for quicker SFP OS loading.

I can't find where I can manually change those sfp-priority settings ?
When I use the batch file you suggested -thanks, it's better now

, does it become available for all future projects or may I launch it everytime I use SFP ?
Thanks in advance

I guess this is the way to do it manually. Or you could open TaskManagement and set low priority when SFP is running.
To improve ASIO stream stability:
1) SFP->Settings->Projects->Enable Startup Project
2) Run regedit, remove following key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun]
"InitPulsar"="c:SFPAppBinSFP.exe -s"
3) create a SFP.bat file in /StartMenu/Programs/Startup
with the line: (remove quote marks)
start /low c:SFPAppBinSFP.exe -s
* SFP tray icon will now load from Start menu instead of from registry. You need SFP to have 'Load Startup project' on, or SFP will refuse to load startup project.
* SFP OS will run in low priority directly from boot. Cubase and ASIO will be stronger.
* I told it to run startup.pro, which is very light. And in SFP you can open any project from the icon quickly.
* I experienced clicks when the SFP GUI was open. They're gone now.
Thanks to André Dupke for inspiration!

Do I have to launch the batch file each time I wanna use SFP ?

If you want it to run automatically in low priority, yes.

Is there a drawback to setting SFP on low? What priority should Cubase SX etc be?

another question :
when I open a second or third project after launching the batch file, do I stay in low priority ?

yes, as long as you don't close the SFP program itself, it will stay in low priority mode.
