There's a problem. FCE does not "search" for video training in order to open.
What exactly happens when you try to start FCE. Also, what vesions of OS X and FCE are you using?
I have FCE 3.5.1 and actually it is asking me to "reset scratch disk" but it seems that the program thinks it is in the "video training" folder on my hard drive. My OS X is 10.5.8
Go to FCE>System Preferences and reset the Scracth Disc to where it should be.

You may have already tried this, but let me ask anyway: did you click "Reset Scratch Disks?" If so, what happens? Do you get a window to reset your scratch disk location, does FCE quit, or does something else happen?
You could try this: use the Finder to create an actual folder called video training at the top level of your HD (this is what I see in the image you posted). Then restart FCE, and it should find the "video training" folder and continue to open. Once FCE is running, then reset you scratch disk location to a more appropriate folder. In order to reset the scratch disk location you have to go to Final Cut Express > System Settings > Scratch Disk > Set. Then you can select a new scratch location on your hard drive.
If that doesn't work, then I suggest deleting the FCE preferences file:
You can resolve many issues by restoring Final Cut Express back to its original settings. This will not impact your project files, but you should verify your Scratch Disk location setting after doing this. To reset your Final Cut Express user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
That solved the problem. I was assuming it was searching for some preset documents or files. It looks like all the FCE wanted was a folder to save the "scratch disks." Thanks. I hope that solved the problem for real.
