1- What OS?

2- This right click look like internet explorer... Look in CTRL-ALT-DEL if explorer.exe still there in process. If not, restart it in File->New task-> explorer.exe.

3- Is the desktop all white? Kill internet explorer (iexplorer.exe) in task manager.

Looks like you got some crazy ass active desktop bull ---- going on. Use SFC /scannow to return your IE ---- to defaults. then abandon it and use Firefox

hit f11... it looks like your browser went to full screen mode... if that doesnt work try ALT + F4


if not... try hitting the windows key + R and type in MSCONFIG and go thru all the "startup" tab and see what's starting from boot... that website might be opening everytime you open windows.
