This setting allows you to customize Internet Explorer by using your own window title. For example you could rename IE to 'My Browser' 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.

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


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
Window Title	REG_SZ	"My Browser"


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
Name: Window Title
Type: REG_SZ (String Value)
