Error messages when logging onto computer

I am having terrible problems with error messages when I turn on my PC.

I'm getting the following error messages, in this order...

Windows cannot find "'C:\Documents'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly,
and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then
click Search.

Desktop
Could not load or run "'C:\Documents' specified in the registry. Make sure
the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the
registry.

Windows cannot find 'and'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and
then
try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
Search.

Desktop
Could not load or run 'and' specified in the registry. Make sure the file
exists on your computer or remove the reference to it in the registry.

Windows cannot find 'settings\owner\application'. Make sure you typed the
name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start
button, and then click Search.

Desktop
Could not load or run 'settings\owner\applications' specified in the
registry. Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the
reference
to it in the registry.

Windows cannot find 'data\adobe\manager.exe"'. Make sure you typed the
name
correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start
button,
and then click Search.

Desktop
Could not load or run 'data\adobe\manager.exe"' specified in the registry.
Make sure the file exists on your computer or remove the reference to it
in
the registry.

I have no idea what's happened. All these programmes seem to be working
fine, but I keep getting these error messages whenever I turn on my PC.
I've
even ran a scan disc and defrag, to no avail, and recently ran Windows
Update
as well.

Can anyone help me please?

Sorry if this is the wrong discussion group, but I didn't know where to put this.
