PUTTY obeys the same escape sequences as xterm does to change its window title, so if your window titles aren't changing already, you can get PUTTY to do so easily enough. Try this code in any of your PUTTY terminals:
It should set your window title to asdf. You can put that code in your PS1 variable as shown here so it changes the title every single time your shell prompts you.
If printf from the prompt didn't work, that means your prompt is already changing your window title every single line, changing it back before you could see.
I have implemented the solution from mschwage located in post https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/35784-change-putty-title-window.html; ie
wt ()
{
echo -n "^2;${@}^G"
}
This method is awesome!!!!
