Getting error message cannot find <path...>Explorer.exe in XP

I'm running XP on an old Compaq Deskpro SFF EN. I get a dialog box at
startup that says:
Cannot find C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web
Folders\Explorer.exe

There don't appear to be any problems with my install (at least, not in
the basic OS capabilities, Windows Explorer, etc.) I've got my normal
desktop, Start menu, startup programs running, etc.

What could cause this error message, and what are the possible other
implications of whatever problem is causing it?

Thanks!

Click Start > Run > Type msconfig > Go to Startup tab >
Uncheck the entry that is using the path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\Web Folders\Explorer.exe

You will find the path in Command column. If you want to run the app that is
using the path :
1.Note the Location (In location Column of Startup tab)
2. Open Regedit (Start > Run)
3. Go to the key that is listed in the first step (Location column)
4. Double click the name of the application.
5. Add " (quotes) to start and end.
