Nautilus use to have the label for the file system in it's tree as "File System". Recently that was changed to now show "Computer" in the tree to open the file system. Regardless of why this change was made, how do I change it back?

As far as I know... to change this label you should edit the nautilus Source Code.
NOTE: In this example I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 with nautilus (Files) 3.6.3
1) Make sure you have enable the Source code repository
Just in case I use the "Main Server" to Download.
2) Open a Terminal and install the necessary packages.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
3) Install build dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus
4) Create a folder to download the source code.
mkdir ~/Downloads/src
cd ~/Downloads/src
5) Download the source code.
apt-get source nautilus
6) Edit the file "nautilus-places-sidebar.c"
Search for the line 3261 to edit.
Replace "Computer" for "File System".
To edit:
gedit nautilus-3.6.3/src/nautilus-places-sidebar.c
BEFORE:
sidebar->hostname = g_strdup (_("Computer"));
AFTER:
sidebar->hostname = g_strdup (_("File System"));
In one command would be:
sed -i '3261s/Computer/File System/' ~/Downloads/src/nautilus-3.6.3/src/nautilus-places-sidebar.c
7) Go to the "nautilus-3.6.3" folder to build the deb packages.
cd nautilus-3.6.3/
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
8) Now you can install the deb packages.
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i *deb
9) Finally you can logout and Login to see the changes.

Hope it helps.
