Are you trying to remove the information in the top of the browser window?

Look in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php (I used the original file for the example) for

<?php
/**
 * @package languageDefines
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: meta_tags.php 4273 2006-08-26 03:13:52Z drbyte $
 */

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

and change it to

<?php
/**
 * @package languageDefines
 * @copyright Copyright 2003-2005 Zen Cart Development Team
 * @copyright Portions Copyright 2003 osCommerce
 * @license http://www.zen-cart.com/license/2_0.txt GNU Public License V2.0
 * @version $Id: meta_tags.php 4273 2006-08-26 03:13:52Z drbyte $
 */

// page title
define('TITLE', '');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', '');

The '' are two single quotes, not a double quote.

Method 2(b): Using "Visibility: Hidden" Style Commands

An alternative to the method above is to simply use the built in features of style sheets to hide your text:

.hideme {
visibility : hidden;
}............i just found this on web but way it make it sound like you might get booted from search engines.....maybe i should forget ideal.......thank you for your help

The title and tagline displayed in your header and the metatags are two different things.

Look in /includes/languages/english/your_template/header.php for

// added defines for header alt and text
define('HEADER_ALT_TEXT', 'Powered by Zen Cart :: The Art of E-Commerce');
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', 'TagLine Here');
define('HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH', '192px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_HEIGHT', '64px');
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'logo.gif');

You can change to
define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');
and
define('HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE', 'pixel_trans.gif');

You can redefine the 'HEADER_ALT_TEXT' also.

The shop name is not displayed in the header; perhaps you were referring to the logo.
