NoSteamWebHelper (Fork)

This is a fork of Aetopia/NoSteamWebHelper. Refer to the original repository for the base documentation and project concept.

Key Differences

This fork adds two states:

• Steam On: Steam Web Helper is allowed to run. It will not be killed when a game is launched. If it was previously off, selecting this will immediately restore it.
• Steam Off: Steam Web Helper is automatically killed when a game is launched. If it was previously on while a game is running, selecting this will immediately kill it.

The last chosen state persists across restarts, acting as the default for next time.

Usage

1. Download the latest umpdc.dll from the Releases page.
2. Place umpdc.dll in your Steam installation directory (the same folder as steam.exe).
3. Ensure Steam is fully closed, then launch it.
4. Right-click the Tray Icon (which looks like a standard application icon) to toggle the persistent state.
