Every time I boot up my laptop, when Windows XP is starting up I get an error

message that simply says "Cannot start shell application" with an "OK" button.

This error box always comes up and pauses my whole startup until I click "OK".

How do I go about removing this error message?

I would start by going into msconfig (start - run - type msconfig - then hit enter). Put a tick in selective startup then click on the startup tab and . Start by disabling all - reboot and see if you still get the error. If not start adding things back 1 at a time until the error comes back. That will tell you whats causing the error.
