Yes, the workaround of using the task manager was already the
temporary way out for me. But I hope for a permanent solution.

Many people out there have multi-purpose PC's, and while the
chess engine is analyzing a position, want to do some other task.


Please, will someone pass this problem to Rybka programmer!

Its fairly common for the user to have to select the priority with the commands on the operating system. I can think of very few applications which have setting for this.

On a UNIX/Linux system it would be very easy to launch from a script and let that set the priority - get the PID and use 'nice' or similar to set it.

I know Windows is more basic and lacks many features found in better operating systems, but I doubt it is that hard to do even on Windows.
