Hack the default title of the Internet Explorer

Did you ever knew that we can change the title of the Internet Explorer in to our own text. The default title is “Windows Internet Explorer”.  This post will show you how to change that default title of your Internet Explorer in to your own one.

1. Press Win+r to open up the run dialog box and type “regedit” without quotes inside the run dialogue box and click OK or hit Enter.  It will open the Registry Editor.

2. In Registry Editor navigate to,
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

3. Double click on Value - "Window Title" and enter the text you desired in to "Value Data" field.
If it not exists right click and create a new String Value and rename it as "Window Title"(without quotes). Then double click it and enter the text you desired in to "Value Data" field.

4. Exit registry and reboot the machine.

  1. You can also change the title of the Windows Media Player.

    In registry editor navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft

    Right click and create a new "Key" and rename it as "WindowsMediaPlayer"(without quotes).

    Then inside the WindowsMediaPlayer key, right click and create a new String Value. Rename it as "TitleBar"(without quotes).

    Then double click it and enter the text you desired in to "Value Data" field.

    Then exit registry and reboot the machine.
