Default Forceware application profiles and Steam games...

Howdy ya'll. Has anyone had any success getting
Forceware application profiles to work along side
Valve's Steam (and games like CS and HL)? I just
can't seem to get it working.

Unlikely to ever work. Steam-game profile data-structures are embedded
in the Steam cache, and thus can be dynamically re-arranged at Valve's
whim while still preserving an unchanged user-view, all via a Steam
download-update.

So, even if Forceware application profiles worked today, they might
not tomorrow. Valve probably does not want access to any Steam game
internals which is outside their purview and control. Would make it
easier for the hackers and cheaters.
