Computer trivia

In Vista none of the explorer windows will have a title or an icon displayed in the ‘title bar’ (called so in XP). This feature was disabled probably to make Vista look good, but I personally find having nothing at the top makes it look bad compared to XP. Not just for looks, but the title also helps to figure out where exactly we are with ease.

Though Windows doesn’t provide any way to enable the title bar, there is a way to do so by using a third party software. ‘Aerobar’ is a free utility that can show up the windows title bar exactly as it was in Windows XP. Google for Aerobar and download ‘Aerobar.exe’

After downloading rename the executable as ‘AerobarIco.exe’ and run the application to see the title bar. In case you want to revert to the default Vista settings without title bar, just run the application again.
