Internet Explorer Retitler: Because you can

We didn't think we would find another entry in the "totally useless but very cool for a few seconds software" section so soon, but as luck would have it...

Internet Explorer Retitler is small, simple, and does what it says. Open the program up, type in any title you want, and hit the "retitle" button. The next time you open Internet Explorer you'll see your new title in the title bar (along with whatever site you happen to be visiting).

How about playing a practical joke on your friend? Or maybe programming a reminder to yourself, so that every time you open IE, you are reminded of some event or some inspirational thought?

Internet Explorer Retitler is mercifully free, and Windows only.
