How to Change the Internet Explorer Window Title

ADVERTISEMENTS

Here is a trick to change the Internet Explorer title bar. If you are a newbie to computers and do not know much about registry editing, I recommend please do not try this hack.

Note : Before editing the registry, please take a backup so that if anything goes wrong you can restore the previous settings easily.

Lets start

1. Go to Start>Run (or WindowsKey+R) and type “regedit” (without the quotes).

2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

3. The the right hand side panel look for Window Title.
If you don’t have it, make a new string (Edit>New>String Value) and name it Window Title.

4. In there, type whatever you want in there (like, for me, I put Gagan) and click OK and restart IE (if you had IE opened)

If done correctly, you should see that Microsoft Internet Explorer had been renamed to the one you sent it to. If it doesn’t, check to make sure you spelled the string correctly (if you had to create one) or re follow the steps, but when you get to step 2, go to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main then continue on with the instructions.
