Easy peasy! To start Steam minimized, just go to Steam > Settings > Interface. Then, tick the box next to 'Start Steam when my computer starts' and 'Run Steam when my computer starts but keep it minimized.' That way, Steam will start up all quiet and sneaky-like when you boot your PC, hiding in the system tray ready for action whenever you are!

Tbh, I never bother setting Steam to auto-start. Just manually open it when I need it. Keeps my PC startup cleaner and faster.

Actually, just set Steam to start with Windows and minimize to the system tray. You don't need to do anything fancy. It's all in the Settings > Interface section.
