The ForegroundApplicationBoost property indicates the increase in priority given to the foreground application. On computer systems running Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, application boost is implemented by giving an application more execution time slices (quantum lengths). A ForegroundApplicationBoost value of 0 indicates the system boosts the quantum length by 6; if 1, then 12; and if 2 then 18. On Windows NT 3.51 and earlier, application boost is implemented by increasing the scheduling priority. For these systems, the scheduling priority is increased by the value of this property. The default value is 2.
