Mikka Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 It's a neat and simple way to do it, thanks.However, I'd really like to get rid of the mandatory hyphen between site title and the customizable text (“ ”), which may be set by your tool (cf. attached screenshot).Do you know how this can be done?

HyperHacker Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 You'd probably have to replace another string. Most likely either "%s - %s" or "%1 - %2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikka Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Many ways lead to Rome if you intend to change the “customizable” part of this text.I found one for Resource Hacker altering browselc.dll.However, it doesn't offer me a solution:The title bar should merely show a site's headline and nothing else!Making Window Title in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main a nullstring ("") will result in something likeChange My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name - MSFN Forums -See the redundant string “ -” at the end?How do I prevent it?

Delprat Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Easy solution : use a font with no hyphen character as the titlebars fontHard solution : too hard for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikka Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) Easy solution : use a font with no hyphen character as the titlebars fontThat would result in no hyphens being displayed at all, therefore "Change My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name MSFN Forums" instead of "Change My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name - MSFN Forums". That's not what I want."Hard solution"? C'mon Coders—go for it! Edited April 6, 2006 by Mikka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or one of the many DLLs used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
