Can the priority of a process or program be controlled in Windows 95 or Windows 98? Or is Windows NT required to do this sort of tricks?

Basically, I need to do some background process (maintenance, backup, etc.) regularly, and want it to interfere as little as possible with programs in the foreground. The time taken for the background process is, of course, secondary: if it takes 30 minutes instead of 15, and I use the computer normally (right now, the background process makes the computer terribly slow), that's fine.
