THIS ONLY WORKS ON WINDOWS 7!!!
Somewhere far away from home and want to access Steam?
No access to admin privileges blocking you?
This guide is for you! All you'll need is the Steam installer and preferably a USB or some type of hard drive. (The USB is so you can put Steam on it and bring it anywhere. Pretty cool! I have a 2TB hard drive with all my games on it, and I bring it anywhere I go! Steam library on the go!)

How this works:
Setting __COMPAT_LAYER to RunAsInvoker does not actually give you administrator privileges if you do not have them; it simply prevents the UAC pop-up from appearing and then runs the program as whatever user called it. As such, it is safe to use this since you are not magically obtaining admin rights.

Instructions:
- Download this .zip that I thoughtfully put together and uploaded to MEGA. (Seriously GBAtemp users, stop fucking using Dropbox. Dropbox is shit and we all know it!)
- Extract it to a folder in your USB drive
- Run "RUNSTEAM.bat"
- Change the install folder to the "Steam" folder I put in the .zip
- Once that is done, deselect "Run Steam" and press finish.
- Copy "COPYTHIS.bat" into the folder
- Run "COPYTHIS.bat"
- Profit!
