In Internet Explorer's title bar, how do you edit the part that says "Internet Explorer"?

Do you mean in HTML, or change it through windows so it doesn't have the default "Microsoft Internet Explorer" on every page?

Allright I just went and found were it was, my IE title bar used to say "Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by AOL" I changed it by opening regedit, then goto string

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main

Find the string value "Window Title"
Double click that and type in whatever you want it to say.

While your ****ing around with your registry you might as well run the hack to make IE load webpages faster :o

-Goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings
-Goto the edit tab and select new DWORD Value
-Name the Value "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"
-Right Click the new Value and chose Modify, enter any number higher then 2 (10 is a good number)

What that does is let IE download more then 2 parts of a webpage at once. IE defaults only 2 at once, I opened mine up to 7 and noticed a difference :eek:



Anyway, you probably just wanted HTML help :)
