Originally posted by YOONA~939:UPDATE: because of various issues with some games in Windows 8 and other glitchy stuff, I've decided to go back to Windows 7. Sanguinjay made the following excellent suggestion to make it easier to start Explorer and access all the usual Windows stuff. To remove the Steam bootingness, just delete the 'Shell' entry you added. Go back and check that you made all the registry edits exactly right. You can also use this method to access Windows if you want to do anything else. If you get only a black screen with a cursor instead, or your gamepad doesn't work, or whatever, press control+alt+delete and select 'Task Manager.' Go to File>New Task (Run) and type "explorer.exe" - this should bring back your regular desktop until you log in again.

Whilst waiting for your PC to boot up, grab your Xbox 360 Controller and turn it on ready to navigate that lovely Steam Big Picture Mode. NOW REBOOT YOUR PC AND CROSS YOUR FINGERS YOU DID IT ALL OKAY! Instructions for this varies according to your Windows version. If you are not a complete security nut and only have one account on your PC, you can set it up to automatically login, so you don't have to select a user and/or type a password. Part 3 (optional): Setup your PC to automatically login to your Windows account

By default on a 64 bit system the full path will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe” - personally I just have Steam installed at root - "C:\Steam" :) Type in the path to Steam.exe and click OK. Right click on 'Shell' and select 'Modify.'Ħ. Right click in the folder pane to the right and select 'New > String Value'ĥ. Bring up the Windows 'Run' dialogue box, either from the Start Menu or by pressing your Windows key and R at the same time.ģ. This is the trickier bit and involves some commitment to Steam on your part, though is easily reversible - it will make Steam run instead of your normal Windows Desktop after Windows has booted and you've logged in.ġ.
Making Registry Edits so that Steam runs as your shell Select both checkboxes for 'Run Steam when my computer starts' and 'Start Steam in Big Picture Mode' - maybe one day Valve will get these to work properly together so you don't have to follow the rest of this nonsense! Open up Steam in normal windowed mode and select Settings from the top menuģ.

Having said that, it's really quite straightforward, requires no additional software and only takes a few minutes to sort out, though you should be comfortable doing things like editing registry and changing advanced Windows settings.ġ. It also has the benefit of freeing up memory and CPU cycles from the Windows interface, but it does mean if you need to do other Windows stuff you have to mess about a bit with Task Manager to start Windows Explorer again (or see the Helpful Suggestions below for a simpler method!)ĭISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING IS INTENDED TO BE USED WITH CARE AND I ACCEPT NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PC! So far I've not noticed any issues - even with controller-enabled non-Steam games that I've created a shortcut to in Steam. It worked for me on Windows 7 and Windows 8, and it should work for Vista and maybe even XP. Bear in mind this is really only suitable for someone who has a PC used exclusively for gaming with Steam, though it is fairly easily reversible. Having looked around on the web I came across various convoluted instructions to BOOT EXCLUSIVELY INTO STEAM BIG PICTURE INSTEAD OF STANDARD WINDOWS DESKTOP, which I've edited together and simplified below.
