   I don't understand your problems.   
      
   Did you execute the posted batch code?   
      
   If No, we can stop here.   
      
   If you executed it, was the title changed to the new string   
   as long as the batch was executed (until you pressed a key)?   
      
   If No, we can stop here.   
      
   If the title was changed, then just add the line   
      settitle.exe my_new_title   
   at the beginning of your batch file.   
      
   But this only works, if the program settitle.exe is available   
   on your computer. You can either embed it in your batch file   
   (as done in the demo batch) or save the program (generated from   
   the demo batch) somewhere on your disk. If it is stored in   
   C:\Sandbox, then use   
      
   C:\Sandbox\settitle.exe my_new_title   
      
   in your batch file.   
      
   If it is stored in a directory which is listed in your %PATH%   
   variable or in the same directory as the batch file, then it is   
   sufficient to use:   
      
   settitle.exe my_new_title

   You can, but if you already have it in C:\Sandbox then just   
   copy the exe to c:\progs, no need to decode it again.

   Settitle.exe can't be "used" with other programs. If settitle.exe   
   is executed from a batch file, it changes the title of the cmd window   
   until the batch terminates. It does not interact with any other programs   
   also executed in the same batch.
