Outlook Express Window title tweak

Posted August 2002 by Steve Sinchak

Change the window title of Outlook Express to anything you want!

Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities{EE383506-901D-43C6-8E40-9A61901DF7CC}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0.  (the  {EE383506-901D-43C6-8E40-9A61901DF7CC} part will be different for you, it is an individual number)

Add or modify the string key called WindowTitle and make its value the desired window title. Then close the registry editor, and restart Outlook Express (if it's running.) Your new title now shows up in the title bar!
