Ctrl A selects everything in the location, in this case the Desktop.
Pressing Enter opens everything on the desktop.

Mr. E and Otto are the same person as the headers show.

Since they think this is "awesome", my guess is these kids have a cluttered
Desktop and fell for this old trick causing numerous Windows to open causing
them frustration as they closed each Window.
Now they want to share their foolishness with everyone else.
Apparently you have a clean Desktop.

Figure they'll figure it's ok since you're on your own machine.
Or let you install their virus stuff.
