I just logged in with no problem.

That is: I started the Steam client, it presented me with the login prompt (as usual), it accepted my credentials, and then normal logged-in activity was possible (friends list came up, could browse store, etc.)

I'm not sure I understand. A user you don't know sent you a batch file?

I hope you didn't run it.

I can't imagine how that could help, or why it would ever be necessary.

But let's imagine I'm wrong. Let's presume that there could possibly exist a .BAT file that would fix your problem. In that case, you should open the batch file in a text editor and understand every line before you even consider running it. If you understand every line of code, you will then understand what it does - and then you will know how to do those things without the batch file.

If you're gonna take this route, you must make sure you open the file in a way that only views the text. You must not run the file.

Back to a more possible world: Isn't the Steam client its own executable?

When you run it, what happens?
