Exit Steam.
Make sure you have all your login info (account name, password, etc.)
Delete everything in the Steam folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam) *** EXCEPT ***:
- steamapps folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps)
- userdata folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata)
- steam sub-folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam)
- steam.exe file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe)
Double click the steam.exe file.

Thereafter login and go to Settings -> Interface. Is the option to "run Steam when my computer starts" available?
