well, i was wrong. here is the info from Ralph Brown:

Category: W - MS Windows

Inp.:
	AX = 168Eh
	DX = 0000h
	ES:DI -> ASCIZ application title (max 79 chars+NUL)
Return: AX = status
	    0000h failed
	    0001h successful
Note:	if ES:DI is 0000h:0000h or points at an empty string, the current 
title is removed
BUG:	this function can return a successful status even though the title
was not changed; reportedly, waiting for two clock ticks after program 
startup solves this problem

SeeAlso: AX=168Eh/DX=0001h,AX=168Eh/DX=0002h
INT 2F
