How to make Steam start minimized
Making Steam start minimized is super simple! Just open your Steam client and head to the Settings menu. From there, click on the Interface tab, find the option that says 'Start Steam when my computer starts' and make sure it's checked. Right below that, you'll see 'Run Steam when my computer starts.' Check that box, and boom, you're all set! Next time you boot up your PC, Steam will start up minimized in the background, ready and waiting without being all up in your face.

Honestly, just set Steam to start up with Windows but minimized. It's under Settings > Interface. Saves you the hassle of manually minimizing it every time.
I've set Steam to auto-start minimized and barely notice it's there until I need it. Works like a charm and keeps my desktop clean.
Don't see the point, I like seeing my Steam right away. Just click it when you need it?
