TITLE

Change the title displayed above the CMD window.

Syntax 
      TITLE [string]

Key
   string : The title for the command prompt window.


The default title is %comspec% however, since the title can also be defined in a program shortcut, the title is usually set to "Command Prompt"

To change the title for the duration of a command use:

  TITLE This is the initial title text
  CMD /c MyBatchFile.cmd
  ...

If MyBatchFile.cmd contains a different TITLE command it will revert when the second command session ends.

The START command, used to start a program in a separate window also has an option to specify a title for the new Window.

"The longer the title, the less important the job." - George McGovern.
