2. Select Window Appearance from the Category pull-down menu at the top of the VI Properties dialog box.
3. Remove the checkmark from the Same as VI name checkbox.
4. Type a title for the VI in the Window title text box.
5. Click OK to exit the dialog box.

You also can use the Front Panel Window:Title property to change the VI window title programmatically.
