You can't if you use the class FolderBrowserDialog directly. But I read somewhere that it could be possible to change the title with P/Invoke and sending WM_SETTEXT message.

In my opinion, it is not worth the pain. Just use the property Description to add the information:

FolderBrowserDialog dlg = new FolderBrowserDialog();
dlg.Description = "Select the document folder";
