SUMMARY

The title of the Internet Explorer window consists of the page title and the Internet Explorer window title. This article describes how to add or remove a custom Internet Explorer window title.

MORE INFORMATION

The page title is specified by the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) <TITLE> tag on the current page. For example, when you view a Web page with the following <TITLE> tag, "Welcome to Microsoft's Home Page" is displayed on the title bar of the Internet Explorer window: 
<TITLE>Welcome to Microsoft's Home Page</TITLE>

The default Internet Explorer window title is "Microsoft Internet Explorer." However, the window title can be customized manually by editing the registry.

Customizing the Internet Explorer window title adds "provided by <your custom title>" to the default Internet Explorer window title as follows: 
Page title - Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Custom title

Adding or Removing a Custom Window Title Manually

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. There is no guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

This section describes how to add or remove a custom Internet Explorer window title by manually editing the registry. To do this, use the appropriate method.

To Add a Custom Internet Explorer Window Title

Using Registry Editor, add a String value named Window Title to the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

The data value is the title you want to appear on the Internet Explorer window.

NOTE: In Windows NT, the value should be of type REG_SZ instead of String. 
To Remove a 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.
