I’d like to switch between two Steam accounts (from the same windows user account) without having to re-enter their passwords. So basically I am trying to write a batchfile which takes care of the relevant files and/or registry settings, but for that I need to know
Which files and registry settings change when logging in as another user?
Obvious bonus points for providing a batch file for that task.
Answer
The Steam executable (Steam.exe on Windows) accepts a number of command line parameters; you could try taking advantage of those.
Specifically, this one, which starts Steam and immediately attempts to log in with the given credentials:
-login %u %p
This logs into Steam with the specified Username and Password combination. Replace %u with the username, and %p with the password you want to login with (Steam must be off for this to work).
And, since this doesn’t work while Steam is running:
-shutdown
This shuts down (exits) Steam.
