Internet Explorer, by default, shows the title of a webpage followed by the string ‘Microsoft Internet Explorer’. Like this:

How about customizing it?

Here’s how:

• Open the Registry Editor by navigating to Start >> Run, typing regedit.exe and hitting Enter
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMain
• Double click Window Title and change it to what you want Internet Explorer’s title to be. If Window Title doesn’t exist, create it by right clicking, selecting New >> String Value

Here’s the title modified to hold the text ‘MyBrowser’ instead of the default one – ‘Microsoft Internet Explorer’

I’ve tried it with IE 6 and it works, and I’m not sure as to whether it will work with IE 7.
