I saw an example on startup.bat how to login steam accounts.

I would like to do that, but only when user login to smartlaunch, and not at startup.

Thanks for answer.

If i buy 10 Call of duty games, and i activate it on 10 steam accounts, for ex:

Steam01, 02, 03, 04 etc!

And i have 25 PC.
I have installed the game using Steam01 on all PC.
If i login on PC 25 with Steam04 account, do i still see that the game is installed, and can run it?

can anyone answer, why does steam not always save the password?

There is a way to set the steam ID from the SL number, that get the whole login a lot easier to steam (no it was NOT a solution from steam :-)).

I cannot remember the tread, so I cannot give credit where it is due right now, but will do so! :-)

Startup script:

@ECHO OFF

ECHO **********************************
ECHO *                                *
ECHO *   Launching Startup Programs   *
ECHO *                                *
ECHO **********************************
ECHO         Current PC is #%1

REM ****** Sætter Steam Login informationer ******
set baseLogin=setcafeloginhere
reg add HKCU\Environment /f /t REG_SZ /v SL_USERNAME /d %baseLogin%%1
reg add HKCU\Environment /f /t REG_SZ /v SL_PASSWORD /d xxxpasswordherexxx

This will tell steam which cafe login number to use. If you make a new user to use MW2, then make them sequentially from 1 :-)

Example. user: mycafe1, password: cafepass then the script will look like this:

@ECHO OFF

ECHO **********************************
ECHO *                                *
ECHO *   Launching Startup Programs   *
ECHO *                                *
ECHO **********************************
ECHO         Current PC is #%1

REM ****** Sætter Steam Login informationer ******
set baseLogin=mycafe
reg add HKCU\Environment /f /t REG_SZ /v SL_USERNAME /d %baseLogin%%1
reg add HKCU\Environment /f /t REG_SZ /v SL_PASSWORD /d cafepass

After startup the computer will be named mycafe1 (or whatever SL number it has) and preset password to cafepass.

THEN, when users login (if you have the same number of user accounts and computers) you can have your login.bat look like this:

REM ###### Start steam ######

for /f "skip=4 tokens=3" %%V in ('reg query HKCU\Environment /v SL_USERNAME') do set SL_USERNAME=%%V
for /f "skip=4 tokens=3" %%V in ('reg query HKCU\Environment /v SL_PASSWORD') do set SL_PASSWORD=%%V

Start "Steam" "D:\games\Steam\Steam.exe" -silent -login %SL_USERNAME% %SL_PASSWORD%

After this, steam is logged in. Now, all you have to do, is point SL at steam.exe and in parameters give -applaunch number for specific game.

Now, of course this only works with same number of PC as licenses. But it is also possible to use LM to achive the same.

But what is the benefit of doing this? Well, for one, L4D2 works. It can´t handle roaming profiles (changing users all the time, as in a café perhaps?). The next is, that we can now syncronize each computer with a server, so it updates the maps on all machines (so you don´t have to download all over again), without using junction :-) Just use robocopy with /XO :-) Questions? ;-)
