Looks like Windows Explorer, not Internet Explorer. Though they are probably linked.
Was this a oncer, or a reoccurring event ? Tried a chkdsk ?

Do you have any files on your desktop, or just shortcuts? When was the last time you ran defrag on your boot drive? Have you done a full antivirus scan lately?

iw4mp.exe is the game Modern Warfare 2, you don't want that starting up at startup... check if you're got a stray shortcut for the game in the "all programs" > "startup" folder in the start menu.
