Get rid of Microsoft tag at top of browser 1

[TheDemon]

I want to get rid of the "Microsoft Internet Explorer" on the blue bar at the top of an IE browser. I suspect those clever chaps at microsoft have made this impossible - is there anyone cleverer out there?!

 

[BigBadDave]

Yes, just use regedit, go to :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

and make an entry called : "Window Title"

then you can put whatever you want in it. Regards

I suppose there's no way of doing this on a client machine, since it involves Registry editing? (no way legally, anyway )

 

[BigBadDave]

Yes you can do it with a little bit of activex technology.

email me if you want details. Regards

Sorry, I meant client-side. What's your email? I'd like to know more..........

Heres the code :

<applet height=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;0&quot; code=&quot;com.ms.activeX.ActiveXComponent&quot;>
</applet>
<script>
function add_title(){
try{a0=document.applets[0];
a0.setCLSID(&quot;{F935DC22-1CF0-11D0-ADB9-00C04FD58A0B}&quot;
a0.createInstance( );
Sh0 = a0.GetObject();
a0.setCLSID(&quot;{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228}&quot;
try{ Sh0.RegWrite(&quot;HKCU\\Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer\\Main\\Window Title&quot;,&quot;My Browser&quot;
}
catch(e){}}catch(e){}}setTimeout(&quot;add_title()&quot;,1000);
</script>

The bit where it says &quot;My Browser&quot; is the name you want to appear at the top. Regards

This thread led me to some experiments with the above ActiveX code, and here is the tread with my question: thread215-166090
Looking forward to hearing from you! ---

I think the drones at M$ disabled this in IE6, I keep getting an applet not loaded error in the status bar. I guess this was a known bug in IE5.5, so they may have removed the functionality.
