Is there a way to set the maximum CPU usage for a process in Windows 7?

You could check out "CPU rate limits in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff384148%28WS.10%29.aspx
But be aware of the warning in http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2010/02/15/put-the-brakes-on-your-application-pools-cpu-rate-limits-in-windows-7.aspx. It says:
Now here comes the drawback. The CPU Rate Limit feature has a bug. The kernel is holding on to a handle to the quota object and never lets go of it. This means once you set the CPU rate limit to a particular percentage you can't change this percentage without rebooting the machine. We are working on fixing it - not sure when we'll have a fix though. I have no idea if this bug is fixed.

Open Task Manager. Right click on the process you want more CPU usage and select the Priority level you want.

I use a third party test application.
I give the application the test input and get the results.
If I feed huge data the application it gives "memory allocation error"
When I observe the used memory from task manager I see that it gives the error when the private bytes reach ~2Gb.
I tried it both 32Bit Windows XP and 64Bit Windows 7. The result was the same.
what should I do to increase reserved heap memory form my third party application?
I want it to use more than 2Gb memory.
The third party application is most likely build for 32bit. So you are limited to 2Gb memory usage.
You can try to find if it has an 64bit installation package.

Now the XCode is available through app store.
I have a lab setup of around 20 iMacs and XCode size is around 4 GB. Is there any way I can install it one time and using pendrive or drive copy it to other macs and connect/activate/authorize on respective macs.
There has to be some thing.
In some thread I saw that we can download it from connect.apple.com. I logged on and saw the .DMGs. But Xcode 4.4.1.dmg is "1.81GB". How it can be.
I don't have that much bandwidth. 4 GB on 10 systems means 40 GB and the time taken too is imp..
Please Guide.
They've managed to compress Xcode significantly over the last year or so, the .dmg you get from the developer portal will be the way you want to go. It only weighs in at 1.81GB and can be copied to as many computers as you want (provided they are intended to be used by members of the dev program). I just checked on the Mac App Store, and they are distributing Xcode 4.4.1 # 1.6GB.

I'm using a Windows Phone 7.5.
Is there a way to automatically sync the current time with some internet time server?
I'm really surprised about the fact that I need to enter the time manually. Even more, my clock was shifting about 3 minutes in 4 weeks.
Kind regards Georg
Automatic time is work only if your mobile operator provide this service, it's not SNTP sync.
You can only check time is actual with Internet Time app
However no such possibility to change system time from application, so no such app, that can automatically sync time from internet.
Go to Settings => date+time and make sure that 'Set automatically' is set to on
This should sync the clock to an internet server

I'm on a WinXP Pro SP3 box. Some time ago, I noticed that opening the Add/Remove programs window takes a lot of time. The window itself opens, but it's building the list that takes so long. I fired FileMon from SysInternals, and it turned out that the process that's supposed to list the programs tries to open every file on my HD.
Anybody experienced this? Any cure?
Thanks

This is not a programming question, but the answer is sorta cool (and a good heads-up for those writing installers):
It's scanning because some programs don't provide enough information when they're installed.
