5. Change the IE window title

Take a look in the upper left-hand corner of the IE title bar. What do you see? Most likely the name of the site you're visiting, followed by "Windows Internet Explorer," or possibly "Internet Explorer brought to you by" followed by the name of your hardware manufacturer. Maybe you don't want to see that hardware manufacturer name there, or perhaps you want to put your own branding on the title -- your own name or the name of your company.

It's easy to do, using the Registry Editor. Here's how:

1. Run the Registry Editor by typing regedit at a command line or the Windows Vista Start Search box.
   
   
2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
   \Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main.
   
   
3. Look for the String value named Window Title. If one doesn't exist, create it by choosing Edit --> New --> String Value and naming it Window Title.
   
   
4. Double-click the Window Title value, and in the Value Data field, type in the text that you want to appear in IE's title bar. Click OK.
   
   
5. Exit the Registry and close IE. When you restart IE, the new title will appear.

6. Get around IE fast with keyboard shortcuts

Mousing and clicking in IE can slow you down. A much better bet is to use keyboard shortcuts. The following tables list some of the most useful ones.
