Big Bill Broonzy on Guitar, right?

Patricia, try this:

At the command prompt of a CMD DOS window under XP, type "title Wow I
Have Just Changed the Title Bar!" (without the quotes of course), hit
Enter, and then report back what you see, both in the title bar when the
window is open and on the task bar when the window is minimized.

Actually, the unnamed title field in the Properties for a shortcut
(first field under the Program tab) does the same.

Unfortunately, Harry, this does nothing to the icon, but let's keep
looking for the solution. I also at one point had my individual shortcut
icons (rather than the C:\ thingie) show on the task bar in XP, but I
can't reproduce it now.
