Make Firefox 29.0.1 by default invoke shortcut for Adobe Flash player plug-in with CPU affinity parameters
Opening Youtube videos shoots FlashPlayerPlugin CPU utilization to over 50% verified through Windows task manager. By default FlashPlayerPlugin is running with CPU affinity of all processors(4 cores), when the CPU affinity is set to just any single core the CPU utilization of FlashPlayerPlugin reduces to below 20%.
Created a shortcut for FlashPlayerPlugin which should invoke FlashPlayerPlugin with CPU affinity, which works when verified from Command Prompt.
But Firefox by default is opening the actual FirefoxPlayerPlugin instead of the shortcut created, how to make Firefox by default invoke shortcut for FlashPlayerPlugin I have created with CPU affinity values.

You can permanently set cpu affinity with Easytoolz. http://www.netzwelt.de/software-download/22416_2-easytoolz.html?sig=27b0cc5add2f0a9e5651acb2c64225f0
Launch the program, rightclick on the tray icon CPU affinity->Hinzufügen and add ...\Program files\Mozilla Firefox\plugin-container.exe.

Teleguy appreciate your suggestion :
1. When there is a Wwindows OS command which does the same job it doesn't make much sense to install a utility/tool.
2. Checked Easytoolz webpage seems like it was last upadated in early 2010, no recent updates
3. There are many utilities to change CPU affinity with simple to advanced options but the main intention of using CPU affinity was to reduce CPU load these utilities will consume some CPU & memory if not much.
