I run a Monte Carlo program on my home computer that can run for days. How can I lower its excution priority so other applications (like Word) don't have annoying pauses, but the program will execute when no one is using the computer?

This piece of code put somewhere at startup should solve it:

USE DFWIN

i = SetPriorityClass(GetCurrentProcess(), IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS)
