The "Me Lads" icon? All of that stuff can be changed in the registry. Try searching through the registry if you want to fix it.

Just search for Me Lads and change them back to Network Neighbourhood.

Don't need to dig through the registry to change that, All ya gotta do is right click on the icon and select rename and then rename your icon back.

Have you tried to restart the computer? Maybe the color of the keyboard will go back to normal.

IMO, that little screwup is so miniscule, I wouldn't even have noticed it if I hadn't been looking for it (which took about half a minute! ).

That would be a nice practical joke on someone that doesn't know too much about computers.
Well of course you could do the old "Active desktop" ploy.

It is there forever. The icon picture file is screwed up, i think.
