Changing the Title Bar in Internet Explorer 7

"Rebranding" Internet Explorer isn't something really useful, but if you can put your name on it... why not? The only problem is that you won't be able to avoid having "Windows Internet Explorer provided by", so the final result will be a title bar with the name of the current page, these words, and your custom string at the end, as you can see in the screenshot below.


To accomplish today's task, we'll use the Group Policy Editor. Since opening it isn't always possible, I'll tell you about an alternate method too. Anyway, you don't have to worry about which one to use, simply follow all the steps in this tutorial, nothing bad can happen if you do everything right, I tested it!

- Press the Windows key+R, type "gpedit.msc" in the Run window and press Enter.


- Open the Run window again, but this time type "mmc /a".


- In the Console window, open the File menu and choose Add/Remove Snap-In.


- Select Group Policy Object, Local Computer, and then Finish, as you can see in the screenshot below.


- Now, select Local Computer Policy in the left pane and go to User Configuration>Windows Settings>Internet Explorer Maintenance(to apply changes for all users of the computer, open the Computer Configuration branch).


- Left click on Browser User Interface, then right click on Browser Title and choose Properties.


- Select Customize Title Bars, enter your text and press OK.


- Open Internet Explorer and enjoy your custom title bar!
