Add the Internet Explorer Icon to the Desktop

Internet Explorer 7 by default is not placed on the desktop on either Vista or Longhorn. It is however on the Start Menu and once its launched for the first time will automatically be placed in the Quick Launch menu on that Task Bar.

To place it on the Desktop, Click on Start, and click and drag the Internet Explorer icon from your Start Menu to your desktop.

How to Change the Internet Explorer Title Bar Text

Using the local policy editor you can change the Internet Explorer Title Bar Text either for the current user or for all users of the computer.

Click on Start and type gpedit.msc and hit enter to bring up the local policy editor.

If you want to edit the title bar text for your own user account, choose the User Configuration folder. If you want to edit the title bar text for all users on this computer, choose the Computer Configuration Folder.

Expand Windows Settings and expand Internet Explorer Maintenance and finally click on Browser User Interface.

In the right hand side of the console, Right click on Browser Title and choose Properties.

Check the box to "Customize Title Bars" and enter in the text you want to have displayed in the title bar.
