LxP Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Hmm, I believe it will also work on windows that aren't necessarily active. Here's some code that renames the Calculator window (it works!): Run('Calc') WinWait('Calculator') WinSetTitle('Calculator', '', 'Klackulator') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cannot be renamed so that it will always start with a new title. Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time ......T.S.
