    I just checked the Show Desktop icon in the Quick Launch bar and this worked for me: After you have the shortcut created, right click on it and choose Rename. Name it what you want and press the Enter key.

    Use TweakuiXP from MS and click on Explorer and scroll down to 'Prefix 'shortcut to' on new short cuts' and uncheck. Then expand Explorer in the L pane > shortcut to remove those 'annoying' little arrows.

    You may need to reboot as you are changing the Registry.

    Or Right Click the icon, and on the General tab to right of the icon you can name it what you want.
