| Changing DOS command Window Titles SUMMARY: Give your DOS command windows in Windows 2000 different titles. Useful if you multitask.
If you use DOS a lot with Windows 2000, you may frequently have more than one DOS CMD window open at once. Perhaps you'll have one window for FTP, one for debugging a batch file, one for doing basic tasks such as displaying directories, etc. If so, it can get very confusing navigating between the different DOS windows since each of their titles on the taskbar just say "Command Prompt". If you'd like, you can change the titles of a DOS window so you can easily see what tasks you are performing in each window.
To change the title of a Windows 2000 command prompt window, just enter in the TITLE command, followed by your desired window title. For example, to name a DOS window "Debugging Window", just enter the following command at a DOS CMD prompt:
TITLE Debugging Window
