How to change the title bar text of Visual Studio

I just created a small Visual Studio extension that can help:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/f3f23845-5b1e-4811-882f-60b7181fa6d6

This small extension will detect
whenever two instances of Visual
Studio are running and change the
window title of Visual Studio to
include the parent folder name of the
solution. It will therefore change
SolutionFolder – Microsoft Visual Studio into
SolutionFolderParent\SolutionFolder – Microsoft Visual Studio.

This is particularly useful when
branching a solution: it becomes
possible to easily identify which
branch you are working on, in the case
where both would have the same
solution name.
