When I open a window using the Tkinter GUI thing the title bar always
says "Tk". I would like to know how to change this. I would also like
to know how to cjange it on any other popup windows I may have. Please
help.

Just use the 'title' method on your windows. See paragraph 45 in

I looked at the website but I did not understand.

Um.... is this right? It is supposed to show a window with the
titlebar showing The Title.

from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()

root.title("The Title")

root.mainloop()

Did it work when you tried it? That is the answer to your question. (Why
do you want to wait hours or days for some stranger to tell you what the
copy of Python sitting in front of you will do with 4 lines of code?)

Yes, that's correct.

Changing title of a Tkinter control

Here's how I did it for an Entry box:

master = Tk()
master.title("new text")
e = Entry(master)
