    "My Computer" has lost it's label?


    I'm having an issue with "My Computer" no longer having any label (text) for it [red in screens].

    Screens:





    Any ideas?

    I'm using Windows 7 64-bit SP1.

    This is more than likely the result of a registry issue.
    As for a precise fix, a system restore would probably be easiest.

    Does it happen if you creat a new desktop item?
    Open Windows explorer. Drag "Computer" to the desktop and create a shortcut.

    Shortcut Result


    When I do that it creates a shortcut called " - Shortcut".

    (two spaces and then "- Shortcut")

    "My Computer" seems to have been changed to "".

    Thanks for the input guys. I got this all fixed up:

    1) pressed "F2" key on each area
    2) typed in "test" then press Enter
    3) pressed "F2" key on each area
    4) typed in "My Computer" then press Enter

    No mucking around in the registry needed

    Was about to say...easiest fix is usually the best.
