I seem to remember that always being there? Settings/Interface? First
thing I disabled on Nov 16th IIRC

not just recently, but I have posted there. I haven't had any problems
with my MX500 for a while now.

It has always been there, at least since HL2 came out. I disabled it when I
got the game on launch day.

Perhaps they didn't realise the option was there?

I've been running Steam since shortly before it was released as "final"
in mid 2003.. I remember when I installed it and rebooted, Steam
started up.. I checked the options and found the tickbox to stop it
certainly never needed msconfig or regedit

Maybe somehow the option disappeared for some people either through a
bad update or a bug.. but I know it was always there on mine
