If you make your own shortcut to display on the desktop then you should have no worries.

A couple things.
1) you can't create a shortcut for Libraries
2) the default one that is there, I have no idea how to remove it...

Hello Murty,

Sure you can create shortcuts of libraries to the desktop, then right click on them to rename them.

Wow Shawn, that was indeed so easy.

I mean the actual 'Libraries' folder itself. Not the folders inside the library

Also very easy.

Thanks!
So how do I get rid of the Libraries folder that is still there by default?

You say it's there by default, but I have never had it on my desktop by default, I know Shawn made a tutorial to have it show on your desktop but I'm sure it's hidden by default.

That's weird then (also just worked out how to create a libraries shortcut anyway, can't believe I missed it again!). I won't worry about it, its not a big deal at all. When I upgrade to 7600, then i'll see if its still there.

(I would rep you grim, but I've repped you too much lately apparently)
