Yes. Here is a sample code that does it (tested).
#include <windows.h>                   /* for some specific Windoz calls */
   {
   HANDLE WinId ;
       WinId = GetCurrentProcess ( ) ;             /* get my Windows HANDLE */
       SetPriorityClass ( WinId , REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS ) ;  /* set priority to REAL TIME CLASS */
   }
The 4 defined priority classes are: NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS, HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS, REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS.

Note. The include is from an old program, it might have changed to
<w32api/windows.h>, I did not compile it lately, and I can't do it here.

Ehud.
