Windows 2000 and DOS
Programmatically Change Window Titles
SUMMARY: Learn this batch file tip to create DOS CMD windows under Windows 2000 with user-specified titles.
From a Windows 2000 batch file, to programmatically create a DOS Window labeled with new title text, you do not need to first create the new DOS window and then change its title via the TITLE command. Just create a new window by typing in the START command, and then enter your desired window name in quotes.
For example, to create a new DOS CMD window and name it "Output Window", enter this command:
START "Output Window"
