I'm not sure exactly what this does, it changes the name of Internet Explorer or the title of the web page being displayed?

I have developed this application long ago,which i couldnt extend due to the loss of source code in a hdd crash. Try it out.Its a collection of 33 cool tweaks. It needs .NET Framework 1.1 installed on your machine to run.

Ok, first, I suggest you remove IE from your computer! It's no good! I suggest Mozilla Firefox as a replacement. it's faster, automatically blocks those pesky pop-ups and has a better downloading system

You cannot just remove IE.

People shouldn't anyway; there is nothing wrong with having two or more browsers on a PC.

IE is too tightly integrated with Windows to even think about trying to fiddle around removing it.

Even though I am using Firefox more and more lately, I still keep Internet Explorer around for compatibility purposes. Some websites will not display properly for me in Firefox.

I currently have IE and firefox. My daughter prefers firefox. And I am just playing around with firefox to get famaliar with it.

the only reason i keep IE is cuz sometimes quicktime doesn't work on my firefox but on IE. It's strange because it used to work on firefox but after redownloading it becuase i updatd itunes, it doesn't work on firefox but works on ie.

I really do not see the purpose of change what the title bar of IE says.

dave7 · 03-16-2006, 03:55 AM

Nah, not too useful just to change the title of the browser window.

I think changing the title of IE is pretty useless.
