reserved for real-time processes. The remaining range 1-15 are the regular (dynamic) priorities that most processes run with. In reality you don't set the priority directly this way, rather you choose a priority class (realtime, high, normal, idle; corresponding to 24, 13, 8, 4) and then a modifier (highest, above normal, normal, below normal, lowest; corresponding to +2, +1, 0, -1, -2).
Is that correct? Shouldn't idle be 3 to allow the full 1-15 range?
According to sysinternals' Process Explorer, idle is indeed 4. I haven't double checked with anything on MSDN but I don't see why it would not be displaying the correct thing, given that it shows the priority on the 0-31 scale for every process so it must be using the NTDLL level calls.
