Rename IE's Title Bar

Rename IE's Title Bar


If you would like to see a new name for Internet Explorer in its title bar, here's how:

1. Go to: Start >> Run
2. Type in: REGEDIT
3. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
4. Single click on "Main" to view its contents in the right pane. Scroll down and check to see if an entry "Window Title" exists. If it does not exist, then go up to Edit >> New>> String Value.
5. Right click on your new String Value entry and select "Modify" in the resulting menu.
6. In the "Value data" text box, type in whatever you would like the title bar to read, select OK when done. I have mine named "5 Star Support Explorer".

If you have done this correctly, the next time you open up Internet Explorer, you should see your new name at the title bar.



Note: Be sure to back up your registry prior to making any changes.

Go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE|SYSTE

to the value data below.

Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value).
Value Data: Time in Seconds or 0 to disable
(default = 10).

Seeing When a Web Page Was Last Updated

Seeing When a Web Page Was Last Updated

You can easily determine when a web page was last updated.
1.Open up the page you want.
2.Enter javascript:alert(document.lastModified) in the Address bar

Note: You only need a java capable browser

To use this without all the typing each time:

1.Open C:\Windows\Favorites folder in Explorer
2.Copy (you must copy, NOT make a new shortcut) any existing shortcut in that folder.
3.Paste it back to the same (C:\windows\favorites) directory
4.Right click it, click properties, in the URL: box put in your tip javascript:alert(document.lastModified)
5.Then rename it, I named it Date Info.
6.That's it, it's always there in Favorites when you want it.
