Mailtje gestuurdVan de FAQ van steampowered.com:
Some users have seen non-Steam related information (like names of private files on their computer) show up inside their Steam cache files, raising privacy concerns. This is actually a result of the way Windows handles files. The cache file gets created on the client using the Windows CreateFile() command. This command will create the file but not initialize it. Due to the large size of the file, the Steam client does not initialize the empty data blocks in it as this can take an appreciable amount of time. On NTFS machines, files created with this method happen to have the property of appearing empty (initialized to zero) but for FAT32 machines, it shows up as whatever old data was sitting on drive in the sectors that just got allocated for the cache. This data is never uploaded or even read by the Steam client. Eventually, as Steam downloads more data, the old data is overwritten.

subject: idea: make it work properly
- Steam can't connect (connection is working of course) to network
- Steam won't start games, not even singleplayer games
- Steam won't work at all
- Steam won't quit
- Steam does all kinds of things, but I don't know what (downloading? starting up? freezing? crashing?)
- Steam singlehandedly discards my installed games, forcing me to install again, then starts downloading already installed games..again. Not that it does that, nothing happens...again
- Steam wont respond, it takes minutes to browse through these simple screen, what the hell is wrong with it
- Steam only shows up in processes, leaving me without any controlpanel. Restarting doesn't do the job, since it takes >5 minutes for anything to happen
- Steam doesn't remember my login although I tell it to remember my login
- etc..
To put it simple: IT SUCKS
Seems you've released something that clearly should not have been released on the coming 2-3 years.
Take it back and finish it please (or finish it off)
PS. did you see the movie: Frankenstein?
