help with user folder shortcut name change

I accidentally changed my user folder shortcut name in Windows Explorer under Desktop.



It was changed when I tried to save a file to the desktop and accidentally create new folder while highlight the user folder shortcut. It might be a bug in the system, since I can’t duplicate the change again.



I have tried to rename it but nothing happens.



I deleted it but it came back after refresh (F5).



There is no property available since this is a special folder or shortcut like network shortcut in Windows Explorer.



I briefly went through the registry and search for ‘shell’ related value but find none to resolve the issue. Did the search on Google and this forum, I have found nothing related to this problem. Maybe I use the wrong word for the search. Does anybody know how to reverse the change or edit in the registry? Thanks.

I am using Vista Home Basic came with IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad.
