I am constantly getting the message "Setting Up Personalized Settings for C:\ explorer.exe" at every boot.

I even tried to go to safe mode and delete the explorer.exe file from C drive, then the systems boots normally however, again the explorer.exe file comes up and the same issue.

Kindly suggest a permanent solution.

Try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236436/en-us ("Setting Up Personalized Settings" Message at Every Boot )

SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following message each time you start your computer:
Setting up Personalized settings

CAUSE This behavior can occur if you have Internet Explorer installed and the network is set up to use mandatory user profiles that are not configured with Internet Explorer personalized settings.

RESOLUTION WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this behavior, create a new mandatory user profile that includes Internet Explorer personalized settings, or change the BrowserWebCheck data value to a null value.

For information about creating mandatory profiles, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 168476 How to Create Mandatory Profiles with Windows NT 4.0 To change the setting in the registry, delete the Loadwc.exe value data from the BrowserWebCheck value in the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run For additional information about Loadwc.exe, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 176960 Description of the Loadwc.exe File in Internet Explorer
