Access 2016: How do I remove the file path from the title bar?

I have searched various Microsoft spaces and found only information about turning full path on in other Office apps, and those most regrettably seem to require using macros.

In some locations on my workplace network, file paths can be so long that they actually cramp the Quick Launch toolbar. I want to avoid that problem for my users. Any guidance would be very much appreciated.

    Try...

    ChangeProperty "AppTitle", dbText, "The name you want to appear"

    ...in the On_Load event of the first Form that opens

    Hi. I needed to redact the UNC path, but they look generally like this:

    This is on the title bar and the path appears in databases with no form open.

    I've just been migrated from 2013, where I thought I had something like a Display full path in title bar option, at least for the core suite. Now, I can't easily find such an option in Word or Excel (which do not show the full path) or in Access (where I would like to turn it off).

    Do you have any startup properties module?
