Kidding. Reinstall steam maybe? On top of the one you already have. That way you won't lose your already installed stuff.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

To "reinstall" Steam, you simply delete everything in your Steam folder except the steamapps folder (so you avoid to re-dowanload every game) and steam.exe (if you run it afterwards, it will download all the missing stuff).

Btw: That's the default answer you get from Steam support if you contact with any problem, even if your problem is not the least related to a faulty installation or startup problems. (your experience may differ)

Well that makes sense. Thanks. At least I know, just in case. :)

Keep userdata as well to preserve game settings and such.

So delete everything except for steamapps, steam.exe, and userdata?

Yeah. Then when you launch it the next time it will "update" and download the remaining steam files fresh.

Unlocker
Try using that program. It will delete files even if Windows has them locked. That usually happens if you have ran them recently.
