Incorrect label on Windows Explorer title bar

R

I set WE to display the full path name of the directory being viewed in the
title bar. However, this is followed by " - Microsoft Internet Explorer",
which is obviously incorrect.

Is my OS screwed up or what?

(I know, I know, this is not really a problem that requires fixing, but I'm
curious.)

I have Windows XP Pro SP2 on an HP Pavilion 734n.

To reply to both Terry and Kelly:

Ha! So maybe my OS did get mangled!

I concluded this after reading the page Terry specified, because:

1) I seem to remember that "Microsoft Internet Explorer" was not in the WE
title originally.
2) Since "Microsoft Internet Explorer" is the default title for IE
(according to the aforementioned page), maybe it is for WE as well, since
they're cousins.
3) Also according to said page, the default title appears unless there is a
Registry entry that supersedes it.

Perhaps one could therefore conclude that whatever the Registry entry was
for the WE title got deleted and so now the default title appears. Nyet?

By the way "Windows Internet Explorer" appears in the IE title bar!

Thanks to you both for the info.

I have a screenshot of IE and WE side by side in a jpg, ready to go, which is
what I assume you want.

I sent an attachment to (e-mail address removed), but maybe this
doesn't work, as I suspect this a bogus address to foil spammers.

I went to your website, but I couldn't divine therefrom how to get it done.

Let me know.

I accessed this newsgroup and sent you a screenshot via Outlook Express. You
should have it. Actually I emailed you twice. The 2nd email has the
screenshot attached. Discard the first.

Nothing here. Send me an email via my site w/o an attachement and I will
respond. We can take it from there.

Oops. I inadvertently sent you 4 emails. I hadn't read your response here
carefully, so maybe you'll understand why they say what they say. The 4th one
has the image file attached. Who knows, maybe it'll get to you.
