Hi all,
I am pretty sure that there was a post on the IE forum about this a while back and there was an activeX solution..
But, the problem is that once this is used on a machine the text disappears altoghether, on all webpages..
This might annoy your users..![[wink]](/data/assets/smilies/wink.gif "[wink] [wink]")
Hope this helps Wullie

Hi Folks,
What you need is something like a shareware or freeware that allows you to "tweak" your windows installation. All the tools I tried a while ago allowed you to suppress the string or even replace it with a new one (something like "Powered by streborr" ;->)
Sorry I can't tell you any name but I'm not using Windows anymore and so I can't remember the name of the freewares. However, a search on download.com with the keyword "tweak" should give you plenty of results.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

there is one solution that you could try. Doesn't work 100% of the time on all browsers but pad the title you actually want to give your window with ____________
A little bit like this :
<html>
<head>
<title>My title____________________And_many_more</title>
Hope this helps.

Hi all,
If you uses spacers in your title on your page, just think what it will look like in a search engine..
That is assuming that this site will be submitted to the engines..

wullie's right about that. Here is a solution marrying JavaScript and my solution.
<script>
if (document.title)
{
var padder = "_________________________________" // more if wanted
document.title += padder
}
</script>
Hope this helps. Gary Haran

Thats a better solution!!
Just as a stupid question.. Why do you want to do this anyway?? Wullie

Hi there,
Like I said previousely, you have to use a "tweaking tool" in order to do it cleanly.
The one from Microsoft is located at:
Else, you can find freewares or sharewares at:

wullie is kinda right. I can't think of any reasons why you *need* to do this. Gary Haran
xso,
This is a HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) Forum..
If this post is regarding a single machine then it should be in the Internet Explorer Forum..
A post in this forum asking that would normally (should) relate to web pages and various users, not just the one machine..

Hi Wullie,
You are right. I was just not absolutely sure that he did not want the tweaking stuff. Sometimes, things are inter-related (like php or javascript posts in this forum). Sorry for the inconvenience caused and, by the way, congratulation for being Tip-Master of the week ;->

wullie,
congrats on getting up there. xso didn't post the question in the first place but tried answering in whatever way he could.
His solution is one that can be noted. Sometimes if we try to find a solution in a very closed mind set we only find a few solutions. If we brainstorm and come up with solutions from different angles we understand the problem better and know more about things in general. I disagree with your last answer on this thread.
Despite that congrats on getting up there. Gary Haran

That post was in no way mean't to offend anyone, I was just stating that in this forum, a post regarding the title attribute should relate to a web page or similar.
If this post is regarding a single machine then it should be in the Internet Explorer Forum..
If this is the case then that was aimed at streborr and not any of you..
If you read the second post in this thread, you will see that the registry was mentioned and that streborr did not ask about that, this make it look more as though it is for a web page..
I am sorry if I offended anyone, that was not the intention..
I disagree with your last answer on this thread. How dare you??

How dare I? 
That reminds of this guy I met once. It was at the world summit in Halifax Nova Scotia. The chinese leader was going to a conference and his bodyguards were fraying passage in the mass of people. One guy I was standing next to started saying things about the tibetan people. and gave the finger at the chinese leader.
I told him he had guts to do that with the size of the bodyguards. He answered "I piss of who I want and I fart when I want". Found that really funny. Gary Haran

right. back to the original problem...
the document.title envrionment string is not supported across the browsers. in fact, I believe that only IE supports it. as for changing the titlebar to something else (on your machine only), try the windows or ie forum...

Wow, I didn't think I would cause such a stir by asking a simple question. The reason I asked the question here was because I knew I would get a response in a short amount of time.
I appologize for not stating the reason why I wanted to clear the title bar. It was just a thought.
I have a section in our company web site where distributors can log in and see customer leads taken from trade shows and referred to thier company so they can follow up on that lead. Some of the information they see are links to even more information such as a second contact for that customer lead. That information, for example, would be displayed in a new window where they would have the option to print that information out.
I was just trying to find a way to take the "Microsoft Internet Explorer" off the title bar or at least hide it somehow from the title bar on the new window. It wasn't something that HAD to be done. I was curious if it COULD be done.
I truely appreciate everyones input and help.
Thanks,
Rick
