Updated: December 6, 2021
Quick overview:

If you have a browser window open, the name of the website you are on is written at the top of the title bar. There is also a way to add your own name or that of your company after this title. Here's how to do this:

Personalize the title bar - how to do it

1. Click one after the other on Start > Execute and type it into the command line regedit on. The Registration editor.

2. Double-click to go through the following keys one after the other: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main. Right-click in the right-hand pane and select New > Character string. Now call them Window Title (consider spaces between the words).

3. Now enter your name, for example, in this line. After pressing "OK", whatever you have entered will be displayed in the title bar from now on.

NOTE FOR NEW PUBLICATION: This article was produced by Sandro Villinger and comes from the Windows Tweaks archive, which has been built up since the late 1990s.

Founded Windows Tweaks as a teenager in the 90s. His helpful PC tricks made it Germany's most visited Windows site (at the time Sandro looked like this). He then went on to write elsewhere, for example for PC-Praxis, Computer Bild and PCWorld in the USA. Microsoft also poached him from us. Now Sandro is back, finally sharing his tweaks here again. For a stress-free digital everyday life. You can reach Sandro via e-mail.
