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?

You'd probably have to replace another string. Most likely either "%s - %s" or "%1 - %2".

This is the code that changes the title bar, as you can see there is nothing in it like that.

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 like

Change My Computer Icon Name And IE Title Bar Name - MSFN Forums -

See the redundant string “ -” at the end?
How do I prevent it?

Easy solution : use a font with no hyphen character as the titlebars font

Hard solution : too hard for me

That 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!

I mean in iexplore.exe itself. Or one of the many DLLs used.
