lowering outlooks process priority

[L Melville]

Hi,

I have a problem with outlook 2000, when i check my email outlook slows my
pc down (it really shouldnt since i have an athlon 1700+ and a fast drive
and 512 meg DDR ram). I think the problem lies with the fact that i also
run norton antivirus 2004 and spampal, so when retrieving my mail there is a
lot going on. I have noticed that lowering the process priority of outlook
alleviates the problem, but it is a pain to do this each time i start
outlook. is there a way of lowering outlook priority permanently?

thanks in advance
lee
