+### ***Easy to use "custom status" for Steam***
+
+---
+### **Purpose**:
+
+Takes a custom `.bat` file/script which uses the `IEXPRESS` script to compile an exe, which can be added as a non-Steam game to display a "custom status message" so to speak.
+
+### **Requirements**:
+
+Requires zero dependencies or knowledge of Batch scripting although this would help.
+
+DOS, OS/2, MS Windows (3.1 Minimum) or an environment capable of creating, reading, compiling and running `.bat` and `.exe` files. (N.B: Not tested on anything below Windows 11 - )
+
+If you're using anything above DOS, Win98, Me, XP, Vista or 7, 8 and 10 this will work too.
+
+Makes use of npocmaka's IEXPRESS script:
+https://github.com/npocmaka/batch.scripts/edit/master/hybrids/iexpress/bat2exeIEXP.bat
+
+### **Cloning + Building from Source**:
+HTTPS: `git clone https://github.com/Defirence/custom-steam-status.git`
+
+SSH: `git clone [email protected]:Defirence/custom-steam-status.git`
+
+### **Usage**:
+
+`bat2exeIEXP.bat custom-steam-status.bat title-shown-on-steam.exe`
+
+The compiled .exe will be stored in the current working directory, the status message displayed on Steam is determined by the name of the .exe file.
+
+You're welcome to also download the pre-compiled .exe file from Releases. Although it's preferable you compile from source for better trust and security since you should never trust pre-compiled .exe files from anywhere, even if the source looks trustworthy.
+
+The reason behind adding the pre-compiled .exe file is to make it easier for people unfamiliar with building from source, scripting, git cloning etc... to use this software. 
+
+I personally would rather not include the pre-compiled .exe, since it discourages learning, but I do understand not everyone is as technically-minded as myself or most others are with software and development.
+
+### **Adding exe file to Steam**:
+
+Navigate to the top menu bar -> `Games` -> `Add a non-steam game to my library`
+
+Find the directory where you stored the compiled or downloaded .exe file and add it.
+
+Once you have located and selected the .exe file, select `"Add selected programs"`.
+
+Click the `"Play"` button to start the program and display the "custom" status message and minimize the `cmd` window that pops up.
+
+### **Caveats**:
+
+No option to minimize this to the notification tray.
+
+Open an Issue or PR to get this added if it's *really* needed, otherwise for now it will be considered for a future version or release.
+
+Can be run while playing VAC-protected games, but completely untested against other clients (EAC, PB etc..)

+* application/x-bat
+* application/x-msdos-program
