before you jump to a conclusion IM NOT MAKEING A VIRUS i have already been BANED from a site because some people don't think!!!

what I'm trying to do is run a simple COUNTER strike source server in the background of my home computer because everyone is always getting on and off that computer they sometimes close it WITHOUT THINKING and that makes me very angry . i have thought about create a VM but i don't know how to do that and seems like it might be more work to enter a command into the server. So if anyone knows a cmd command that i can use to run it in the background PLZ HELP

(at this point i think it may be just easier to run it on a VM )I don't think you can, but there might be a CSS dedicated server that runs as a service? (I dunno)

Another possibility is to use Fast user switching- create a NEW ACCOUNT for the CSS server, and then switch to another account.

The server will still be running- but on another users desktop, so you won't be able to see it. (and close it)OK thanks well i just did the thing with creating a new user on my computer. I can always just use rcon command and if I'm on a computer that doesn't have steam remote desktop all i have to do is find a way that the server start on that account ONLY when the computer is turned on so i wont have to loginto the user and start the server. (just in case)
