Installing RGS 53
Setting the Sender process priority using regedit
This section describes how to use the Windows regedit command to increase the process priority of the Sender
service when it starts. Under normal operation the Windows Sender runs as a Windows Service. When the system
boots up, the installed services are started. When the RGS Sender is installed, an entry is added in the Windows
Registry for the Remote Graphics Sender service. regedit can be used to modify the command line that is used
for starting the Sender service as follows:
1. Start regedit—This can be done by opening a Windows command prompt and executing the
command “regedit” or using the "run" command line from the Start menu
2. Using regedit, navigate to the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\rgsender
Prior to making any changes, the regedit display should appear as shown in Figure 3-11.

3. Add the desired process priority command line option for starting the Remote Graphics Sender service. For
example, to increase the process priority to high, add the “-high” option to the key “ImagePath” as
follows:
"C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\Remote Graphics Sender\rgsender.exe"
-startService -l logSetup –high
4. Restart the Sender service with the new option. This can be done using the Windows Service Control
Manager, or by re-starting the system.
Double-clicking the “ImagePath” key will bring up a dialog that allows you to edit the value. In Figure 3-12, the
-high option has been added.
