If you mean the part that says something like c:\documents and settings\your name\etc., that definitely will not show in its title anywhere that you upload the photo to, or anywhere else you might paste it or send a copy of it. That is just the mechanism by which you tell your computer and the place you want to put the pic, where it is. Once put where you want it, only the part preceding the ".jpg" extension will show. That being, in your case, sevenupvig.jpg. (When I downloaded the pic myself, its default title was scripophily_1956_36074827.jpg, so your title is obviously better and more immediately identifiable!)
Renaming a file is very easy, but if the above is what you are worried about you don't need to, and renaming wouldn't accomplish what you want anyway since the "private part" is only about the photo's current "address" on your PC, not part of the actual, visible title of the file.
I noticed one funny thing, which is that if it is saved in its smaller form, the sentence "Click to enlarge" comes along with it. Usually that option doesn't get made into part of the image you are saving. But that is easy enough to crop out, as would be resizing the larger version. But that's probably not related to anything you're wondering about, so never mind, don't want to complicate things.
