How to change title in IE?
VComment
Follow the steps to append some text to your IE:
1. Open up Regedit (Start>Run>Regedit).
2. Navigate to this string: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
3. Create a new string value (Right-click "Main" key folder, select New>String Value).
4. Rename the value "Window Title" without the quotes (Right-click value, choose Rename).
5. Right-click "Window Title" and choose Modify. In the value data section, type your title of choice. Mine says "Varun's last experiment at college!"
6. Now, launch a new instance of IE and enjoy the changes!
