Hack IE/ Media Player

What if you want you change the Title of IE or windows media player(WMP). I was particularly annoyed when i download the Yahoo version of IE. The title read WINDOWS INTERNET EXPLORER - YAHOO or something like this. This reduced the site title space. This Registry Hack will show how to do it.Go to Regedit (start>>>run >>> TYPE regedit ) .



Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet explorer\main




Now Modify/Create the value data "windows title" with anything you want. Click ok. Press F5. Now go to internet explorer. See the title of it.



Similarly for WMP you need to modify 'TitleBar".



If you want systemwide change replace HKEY_CURRENT_USER with HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE
