Replace Windows Desktop Shell with Steam

Set steam to launch in big picture mode
Set steam as your windows shell (making it run instead of the desktop) :
Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
Make a new string entry with Name=Shell and Value="[path-to-steam-folder]\steam.exe"
Set windows to log in automatically with autologon
