how do i set process priority for app, so when i reboot it always has that priority set.

So for example if i were to set process priority to 'high' for my firewall service. So upon bootup, my firewall service is automatically set to priority high. :)

You can set process priority by doing a CTRL-ALT-DEL, click Processes and then right click on the desired process and set the required priority. Obviously the process in question will not retain that priority once it has stopped and restarted.

Which firewall are you using as your firewall application should have the option somewhere to set its priority.

okay, i checked the shortcut, and i can't find the start /high program option. also, TPF is run as a service, if that helps.

If it runs as a service you may have to create a shortcut that runs 'start /high program' and use srvany to make that shortcut a service.
