How do I utilize Hyper-Threading on my CPU?

[LewiesMan]

Hello, I just read about something called hyper-threading?! and when I checked I saw my PC/System has 3 virtual-processors identical to the main
(3,5 amd quad core) - which means hyper-threading is enabled for my PC(I use windows 8 btw)

My question is this: how do I or rather can I use hyper-threading to increase my cpu mining speed (I'm mining cryptonight based coins)
If the the answer is yes: which software/tools do I need? And how do I proceed? Any help is welcome. Once again - haters need not reply!

Thanks!

What I'm aware of is you can set the miner to use a certain amount of cores but I'm not familiar with hyper-threading having any additional input.  What processor specifically are you using?
