Can't get rid of grey box on desktop

I can not figure out what is producing this box or how to get rid of it.

Anyone else run into to this issue?

Thanks for the the reply lllaass.

No luck depressing the Escape key or back.

Tried booting into Safe Mode and then normal but no luck.

I think I finally tracked it down though...

In my user profile (System Preferences>Users & Groups>Current User) under the Login Items it had "Setup Assistant" in there 3 times so I removed all three.

No box was there on the reboot.
