scheduled scan does not honor scan priority?

I have configured SBSD to run at scan priority "Lower". I have scheduled a weekly batch job to perform a scan. I expected the scheduled scan to run at the lower priority. What I actually observe is that the SpybotSD.exe run by the batch job runs at priority "8" which is "Normal" priority. What might I be doing wrong or misunderstanding about the scan priority option?

Spybot SD 1.6.2.46
Windows XP SP3

Hello,

Did you use the sheduler in Spybot itself to shedule the scan?
Did you enter a password in order to run a sheduled scan?

Hi Sandra. Yes, I used the scheduler in Spybot itself to schedule the scan. I do not enter a password to run the scan; I am not prompted for one.

Hello,

Please see:
Scheduled Tasks cannot run without a password/or with a blank password

There is workaround for the password requirement in Windows XP.
See the following thread:

Hi Sandra. The articles you sent me have to do with a problem of scheduled tasks not running. I am not having that problem. The problem I am having is that the scheduled task is running at the scan priority "Normal", not the scan priority "Lower" which I had selected in the Spybot configuration.

Cheers, Edward

Was there ever a solution to this problem?

Peace...
