Get Rid of IE Branding in the Title Bar

Many ISPs put their own branding in the Internet Explorer title bar. Here is how to get rid of it without reinstalling anything.

Microsoft makes it fairly easy for companies or individuals to put their own branding on the IE title bar, but getting rid of it isn’t too hard, either. As always, back up the registry before you make changes. Navigate in your registry editor to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Main

Now look in the right pane and you should see a value named Windows Title. In the Data column, you’ll see the branding text (such as the ISP’s name). You can delete this value to get rid of the branding entirely, or you can double click the value and change it to whatever you like (such as your own name). After you make the desired change, close the registry editor, close IE and then when you open it again, the change should take effect.
