The MapBasic Guide states that "The application window title (the main
"MapInfo" title bar) cannot be changed unless the user is running a run-time
version of MapInfo". It is however possible to do it with some API calls
like in the following example:

Declare Function GetActiveWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As Integer
Declare Function SetWindowText Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SetWindowTextA"
(ByVal hWnd As Integer, ByVal lpString As String) As Integer
Dim miwind,retval As Integer
miwind=GetActiveWindow()
retval = SetWindowText(miwind, "New title for MI Main window")

If you do not have mapbasic, I could compile a short program to do it.

Subject: MI-L MI Window Sizing on Opening

Does anyone know how to force MapInfo (6.0) to open the window to a specific
size or make it remember the last size it was closed at?
My MapInfo Icon is set to run as a normal window but it expands to fill both
screens which is really annoying.
One has to always resize it.

Thanks,
