Change The Window Title on Internet Explorer

Change The Window Title on Internet Explorer
«
  • IE9.TIF
  • IE13.tif
This Instructable will show you how to change the window title (Title Bar) on Internet Explorer. For example, you could make it say "(Web Page)- Hello" or anything else. It worked for me on Vista and XP

P.S. Don't try anything too long. If the character count passes the limit, IE will just display "(Web Page)- Windows Internet Explorer" And No, I didn't make this up. i saw it somewhere on the web, and at the time of posting there were no other Instructables showing you how to do this.

Hey, I'm new to instructables (viewer, not poster), and I was wondering if you could do something like this, but for Mozilla Firefox. I mean, yeah, this is great... but I use Firefox more than IE.

i'm pretty sure you can do it the same way..i can't check now, i'm in vista i think the point of this was to screw up the browser you don't use primarily
