How to Change the Internet Explorer Window Title ?
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53455#53455

It can be changed globally, but what I detail here is the simple method to over-ride
the default title "Microsoft Internet Explorer" with a more suitable and a short name.
Anytime later, the default title can be restored without difficulty.

To Set a Custom Internet Explorer Window Title

Using Registry Editor, create the following value in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title
and set it to whatever name you want ( eg. MSIE)

or use AHK

To Remove the Custom Internet Explorer Window Title

Using Registry Editor, delete the following value in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Window Title
When you delete this value, Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes the default window title.


If you are not comfortable with the idea of using the Registry Editor or writing your own code
you may download and try the example GUI : RegPatch_001.ahk

and... this is the snapshot of the GUI

or maybe, you want to have a look at the code first. Click This : RegPatch_001.ahk.txt
