To stop lightroom opening when a memory card is inserted, open the preferences dialog (Edit->Preferences or Ctrl-J), select the General tab, and untick the "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected" checkbox. OK the dialog & close LR.

I'm not sure how you got all images open on the desktop, but I can't say I like the idea. Try this: With the folder open, type Ctrl+A to select all images, the right click one of them & select Preview. You should get a slideshow of all the images.

I think you ought to get your images off the memory card before you start to mess with them, personally, and for that purpose the Lightroom import is as good a thing as any.
