Renaming the desktop icon layout in Windows is usually not a standard feature of the operating system. In Windows you can customize your desktop and set the arrangement of icons to your liking, but there is usually no built-in function to change this layout name.
However, there are some scenarios where you could change the layout name like this to Desktop-OK.
Overall, renaming the desktop icon layout is a sensible change that improves usability. Typically, renaming the desktop icon layout is not something the average Windows user would do on a daily or even regular basis. However, if you have specific requirements or reasons for renaming, you could achieve this using third-party tools or scripts. However, please note that such changes could interfere with the Windows registry and caution is advised.
