cannot find iexplorer.exe

When I try to load Internet explorer. Either IE7 or IE8, I get a pop-up
message that states: "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, then click Search."

I never had an issue before, and one day it just popped up with that
message. My main browsers that I use are Firefox and Safari, mainly Firefox
though. I've uninstalled and reinstalled(with restarts as well), and I still
get the same message. What else could be causing this issue?
