OL2000: MsgBox, InputBox Titlebars Prefixed with 'VBScript'

You use the MsgBox or InputBox commands in Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) and specify custom text for the titlebar of the window, but VBScript: is added to the beginning of the text.

This is a new security feature of VBScript version 5.0.

This change prevents someone from writing malicious code that uses the MsgBox or InputBox commands to imitate other dialog boxes. This ensures that all dialog boxes originating from VBScript code are clearly labeled as such.

There is no way to remove the VBScript: prefix from the titlebar.
