change title bar text

change title bar text

I have done many searches using multiple engines (Google, Altavista, Yahoo!,
MetaCrawler to mention a few) using the subject words and have gotten
literally millions of hits. I found basically five different areas of
interest:

1. I can change the text in Internet Explorer's title bar (registry edit).
2. I can change the text in Outlet Express' title bar (registry edit).
Media Player, too.
3. I can change the text in the title bar of web pages (Javascript &
VBScript).
4. I can change the text in programs that I write (Visual Basic, etc. -
SetWindowText())
or
5. I can purchase <U>EPC Title Bar Changer</u> (which I have downloaded,
tried, and don't particularly care for).

I find it extremely difficult to believe that with the tens of thousands of
individually written programs on the internet which allow me to draw
pictures, listen to sounds, write text (to a file), view graphics, pictures
and movies, etc., etc., etc. there is only one program out there that will
let me customize the title bar for any program on my machine.

Does anyone know of a registry tweak, script, or program that I can use to
individualize the title bar on my system?

TIA

Title Bar Reader, common edition (2nd one down), free, and does what you want.

I wonder how many spyware programs are bundled with this puppy?

Just write your own as I do.

hwindows = FindWindow(vbNullString, "Microsoft Works Calendar")
Ret = SetWindowText(hwindows, "Calandar")

Thanks to all for the replies. I'll check them all out and see which works
the best for me. Again, thanks.

No spyware. I checked via multiple venues and with multiple spyware removers.
