    Ok seems odd, but I was wondering if you can change the titlebar text in any window I want.

    Or if anyone knows (or uses) crazy browser how to change the title of that.

    Cheers

    In MS Word you can do it with an autoexec VB macro. Have you looked in the registry for the browser title?

    Works well which is cool, displays other things aswell if I want inculding the time.

    I did try looking through the registry and it wasnt there also tried rees hacking it but its compressed some how (tired UPX on it but didnt work) also tried to Hex edit it! NO success.

    Under 2000 and XP you can brand or 'tatoo' the window for Internet Explorer to say whatever you want.... the easiest way is through a policy across a domain OU, but there should be a reg hack for it as well for a standalone as well... look for tatooreg in the registery or googlize it and it'll show up.

    IE (and OE) are no problem, XSetUp will swap the titles. They're designed to be customised for all the free ISP cds. ;)

    For Word, the Autoexec macro is
    Code:
    Option Explicit
    Public Sub Main()
    Application.Caption = "Howard's Word, OK!"
    End Sub
