This setting allows you to customize Outlook Express by using your own window title. For example you could rename Outlook Express to 'My Mail Reader' or anything else you like!

Open your registry and find the key below.

Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, to equal the title you would like.

For Outlook Express 5.0 and 6.0 the location of the key has changed to: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{** Identity ID **}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0]

Note: Delete the value of 'WindowTitle' to change the title back to the default.
