Default Windowed Mode

When playing in windowed mode, is there a way to change the name of the exe window itself from "EverQuest" to something else? This is primarily to camoflauge the program better when minimized [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

He wants the program icon on his Windows task bar to not say "Everquest" while running in Windowed Mode so that if someone looks at his screen when he has the game minimized they won't be able to tell he's playing a game.

You can do it with AutoIt v3 with out modifying the .exe. You just have to run the script after you lauch EQ. Create a new script and c/p this script into the editor. Change the "Yahoo Calender" to what ever you want the window title to be. Save and title it what ever you want. Launch EQ then run the script you just created it will locate the EverQuest window and then rename it to what ever you set it as.

Quote:
Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
Opt('WinWaitDelay', 0)

Local $PartTitle = 'EverQuest'

While 1
WinWait($PartTitle)
Local $FullTitle = WinGetTitle($PartTitle)
Local $NewTitle = StringReplace($FullTitle, 'EverQuest', 'Yahoo Calender')
WinSetTitle($FullTitle, '', $NewTitle)
WEnd
If you need help with this toss me a PM and will do what I can but its pretty straight forward.

Autoit can be closed after the script runs no need to keep it open but if you do it shows in the system tray which is not usually visible.

If you want change the icon just change the icon at the .exe to what ever you want the Task bar icon reflects the icon that the .exe is set to. But I think the OP just wanted the title name to change either way the icon is the easy part.
