Open a command prompt (Start, Run, cmd, OK) and enter the following command: title I am a DOS god! then check out the title bar of the command window. Of course you'll want to substitute your own text string for your own amusement.

Well kinda Nice Trick
give it 4 out of 5 starsJust a little thinking though,malware writers may apply this trick on renaming the Command prompt if possible... This post has been edited by Commander Gman: Jun 13 2007, 06:15 AM -------------------- It's cold in here... |

Nah, the title is for the window only, new command windows will bear the original title.
