Thanks but you know, "COMPUTER" is an independent item instead of a shortcut so no such option
Have you tried to rename it---

You can also hover the cursor on it & press the Space bar to get the menu to pop up from the bottom of the screen
I don't know why the name of this icon starts with a small capital letter.
How to change the icon name "computer" to "Computer"?
Microsoft has changed name of "My Computer" to "[B]This PC[/B]" in Windows 8.1. Although its just a change in name but many people don't like this new name and they want to rename it back to Computer or My Computer.
You can actually rename "This PC" to any desired name quickly and very easily. Just follow these simple steps:
[B]1.[/B] Open "This PC" window and click on "[B]Up[/B]" button present in toolbar. Alternatively you can press "[B]Alt+Up arrow[/B]" keys together.
[B]2.[/B] It'll open [B]Desktop[/B] folder. Now right-click on "[B]This PC[/B]" icon and select [B]Rename[/B] option. Alternatively you can click on "This PC" icon and press [B]F2[/B] key to rename it.
[B]3.[/B] Now type any desired name and press Enter.
That's it. You have renamed "This PC" successfully.

How strange - I do not remember that as an option when I initially right-clicked on the node under file explorer. After I followed the post just above it IS an option. Could I actually ahve MISSED it? Gack.
Your post was basically mine without a picture.

Interestingly, on my PC that particular iconed app is named "This PC" (as is the top-level file explorer node); I have none labeled "Computer" or "computer". I vaguely remember that top-level node being named "My Computer" under some prior version of the OS.
As such, yours appears (to this not-very-knowledgable Windows user) to be a post-install manual name change, suggesting it can be undone.
====
Post-post addendum: I found numerous places in the registry that have the string "This PC". That suggests the string is set ELSEWHERE like in some type of policy editor, etc. You could look for an exact match on "computer" to see how it appears in your registry with the understanding that "This PC" is an unusual string but "computer" probably isn't.
Okay, found an online source on how to change that name - you would follow the same steps, just mentally substitute "computer" for every mention of "This PC":

I followed these directions up to the point of actually typing in a new name. Since I simply do not trust uSoft or any Windows implementation in situations like this (*), I didn't ACTUALLY change the name though I could have.
So...YMMV - tread carefully.
====
(*) IMHO, there is NO reason for there to be multiple entries in the registry with the string "This PC" - since I don't trust uSoft to get things like this right, I would fear that one or more of those locations will not change if I follow the above instructions (though they should), causing unknown maybe-future problems. I've been wrong about such fears before.
It shows "computer" instead of "This PC" because mine is 8 instead of 8.1...
