When you surf around you always se the name or <title> of the page you visit. That title is followed by the text "- Microsoft Internet Explorer".

Does anybody know how you remove it?

Open Registry by going to START-RUN and typing REGEDIT. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet. Explorer\Main. In right hand panel look for string "Window Title" and change its value to whatever custom text you want to see.

the only string that's there and even resembles "Window title" is "Window_Placement".. Could it be in some other folder?

For Windows XP,

1. Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc

2. Choose User Configuration, Windows Settings, Internet Explorer Maintainance, Browser User Interface, and doubleclick Browser Title.

3. Activate Customize Title Bars, and type something in there. Doesn't matter what. Let's type: Teddamn. Click Okay.

4. Open Reg editor. (start, run, regedit)

5. goto HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.

6. Look for the key: Window Title. There you'll find the value: Microsoft Internet Explorer provided by Teddamn.

7. Change this key to anythig you like and exit regedit.

8. Open IE and look at the titlebar

Note: If you don't do steps 1 to 3, you won't find the Window Title key.
