    Hi Nuwand,

    As far as I know, it is not possible to achieve this for the reason the title 'Microsoft Internet Explorer' is set in the Internet Explorer itself and a web page has no permission to change it. The situation is also existed in other browser like FireFox, Safari, Chrome or  Opera. So, if you could tell us why this feature is needed, maybe we can find some alternative waySmile.

    Hi

    I just got it from another forum to tell you how to add or remove a custom Internet Explorer window title by manually editing the registry.

    To do this, use the appropriate method.
    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.

    Dear Tayler,

    Yes, what you said is totaly right in a winform application, however, how can a web page defaultly edit the registry in the client side?

    This code will modify registry key for the window title of internet explorer. If it does not already exist it will create it. For this to work your web sites needs to be in the "Trusted Zone" in internet explorer on all your clients computers.

    Thank you for the responses guy's.

    I'm opening a new IE window for some form stuff and if the user is "editing" an excisting form i put the name of the "item" that is beeing edited in the page title.......then right after the page title in the same line there is the text "Windows Internet Explorer"....and a project manager wanted that text gone :)........its no biggie......I think I will just edit the registry on his computer manually....and tell him its gone :)
