Remove filename only on title bar & not also on taskbar item?

So I did some searching and found the thread below that "sort of" solves a problem I had, which was the title bar in Excel showing the filename & a dropdown menu that prompts you on where to save the file (amongst other actions):


Macro:
VBA Code:
Sub test()
Application.Caption = " "
ActiveWindow.Caption = ""
End Sub

However, when I run that macro, it not only removes the filename from the title bar at the top of the Excel window, but also on the taskbar icon (which I don't want).

BEFORE running macro:
Excel with title.png


AFTER running macro:
Excel without title.png


Is there any way to remove the filename/dropdown only from the title bar at the top, while leaving it intact on the taskbar? And if so, I would prefer it to always be removed, vs having to run a macro every time I open a new Excel window.

Alternately, I wouldn't be completely opposed to having the title bar filename moved all the way to the left or all the way to the right, instead of smack dab in the MIDDLE of the title bar....soooo annoying.
