There are numerous system-wide commands available that interact with [[Steam]]. All of them open up Steam if it is not open. They can either be typed into a command box (Start-> Run) or through your browser's address bar (you can normally create links to them as you would web page links). Use a [[Steam Application IDs|Steam Application ID]] in place of <id> (i.e. 211 for the Source SDK).
 
{{warning|Some commands are no longer functional, and some commands might be missing on this list.}}
