i have set cpu priority mode to real time for Counter Strike & photoshop 6 but after the restart the priority goes back to normal. How do i get the OS to remember the modes?.

Realtime, huh? Yikes! You have more brass that I do! I'd be concerned about going higher than high priority.
You can set the priority of the primary thread of an application by altering the text in the Target field of the shortcut to the executable.
So, if you want to run MyGame.exe in high priority you change
"C:\MyGame\MyGame.exe"
to
C:\WINNT\system32\CMD.EXE /c "start /high %C:\MyGame\MyGame.exe"
in the MyGame shortcut's Target field. It will change the icon to the one for CMD.EXE, but you can change it back to the appropriate one for MyGame.exe. Then every time you start MyGame using that shortcut, it will be started at High priority. I just can't bring myself to type /realtime in that command line.
Hope this is helpful.

Oh, you lucky dog! Have fun!
In the meantime, are you going to try using the shortcut using the /high option? I'm curious, because I've wondered how it would work out with a game. I suspect that it might cause a hang with a game. Works okay for things like Word and Excel, though.
