Title: RENAME MS IE TITLE
Post by: raznehb on August 01, 2006, 02:54:31 PM
This tip applies to Windows 95/OSR1/OSR2/NT4 systems ONLY IF you installed MS IE 4/5/6 or newer, and to Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/2003, which come all with MS IE 4/5/6 "built-in" [NO choice here! :(], but you can upgrade later to the newest MS IE release (MS IE 6.0 SP1 is current as of this writing), to benefit from all those "nifty" bug fixes and CRITICAL security patches. :)

You can change the Internet Explorer title bar name to whatever you want.
Just start Regedit and go to (all users):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
or to (if only one user):

HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
and/or to (currently logged on user):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Modify (or create if not present) the "Window Title" String Value in the right hand pane (don't type the quotes) to show the name of your choice: right-click in the right hand pane -> select New -> String Value -> name it "Window Title" (no quotes) -> double-click on it -> type your own, customized MS IE title bar name (for example I use IE6) -> click OK or press Enter.
Default is "Microsoft Internet Explorer".
To revert to default, simply delete the "Window Title" String Value.
Close the Registry Editor and open an Iexplore.exe window to see the change.

If you prefer to open IE in full screen (kiosk) mode (e.g. by hitting F11 when NOT full screen) you won't see the title bar though. :(
