Change the Internet Explorer Title

Although this is not the most needed tip, it can still be useful - particularly if you have installed some ISP software which adds their name to your Internet Explorer title bar.

Either you can directly edit the key in the registry (regedit.exe) or alternatively save the following into a .reg file (e.g. IE_Title_Change.reg)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
“Window Title”=”www.microsoftquicktips.com”

Of course, you may want to change the title text to something of your choice.

Now, if you chose to save the text in a .reg file - run the .reg file, say yes to the question - now you should have managed to change the Internet Explorer Title Bar.
