MAY NEED TO MOVE THIS! SORRY TEX.

After many years of holding out I bought HL2 with CS:S, but because I am a tightwad I bought it from ebay already attached to a Steam Account.

So the question is can I combine the 2 accounts? I don't think so, so as an alternative I am trying to create a batch file that will auto login to the correct Steam Account when I click each short cut. This seems to be the way tey do it in Cybercafes'.

Here is what I got from the interweb but it doesn't seems to work, any suggestions?

@ECHO OFF

[color="#FF0000"]REM SET SteamLogin=""
REM SET SteamPassword=""
REM Before Steam is launched the login and password are cleared[/color]

SET SteamLogin=Username
SET SteamPassword=Password
REM Sets the login and password associated with the specific computer


"C:\program files\steam\steam.exe" [color="#FF0000"]-applaunch 240 [/color]%SteamLogin% %SteamPassword%
REM Launches Steam from the directory it is installed to (Default: C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe)

SET SteamLogin=""
SET SteamPassword=""
REM After Steam is launched the login and password are clear

The bits in RED are what I added myself. As i look at this I start thinking if I can get this working I won't need a batch file as I can write this into the launch options.

Any ideas what isn't right?

:whistle:

If you mean you want to merge two Steam accounts (?) then that isn't possible unless you get on your hands & knees to Steam Support. Even then you'd be lucky.
