Do you want it for a small select number of executables? Or all exes?
One hack for a select number of executables would to do
function cmd
$title = $host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = 'cmd.exe ' + ($args -join " ")
cmd.exe $args
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = $title
Then just run
cd c:
cmd /c dir /s
And see the title change
And for all the commands
Get-Command -CommandType Application | where $_.Name -match '.exe$' | %
$f = @'
function 0
$title = $host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = '0 ' + ($args -join " ")
0.exe $args
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = $title
'@ -f ($_ -replace '.exe', '')
Invoke-Expression $f
And then try ping 127.0.0.1
Its hacky, YMMV

Yes there is, this is my function for prompt, it put the last part of the actual path in the prompt. Also set the window title and when you runit as admin change the background and add a Admin: in the title.
$FirstRun=1
function prompt
$shortpath = split-path (Get-Location) -leaf;
$id = [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()
$p = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal($id)
if
($p.IsInRole([System.Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator))
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "ADMIN:$shortpath"
if($FirstRun)$host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = "Black"; cls; $global:FirstRun = 0;
else
$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = $shortpath
$(if (test-path variable:/PSDebugContext)
'[DBG]: '
else '' ) + 'PS ' + $($shortpath) + $(if ($nestedpromptlevel -ge 1) '>>' ) + '> ';
Put that in your profile, remember that any profile is accesible directly with the profile variable:
$profile.CurrentUserCurrentHost, $profile.CurrentuserAllhost ....etc.

One thing you could try is to query for child processes of the current host (via WMI query perhaps?). That should give you the exe being run, which you can put in the title.
