Steam and system reboots

[Glassjoe]

Basically going to be reinstalling Windows soon, and was wondering how I go about getting back all of my games on Steam when I reinstall. Do they start downloading as soon as I reinstall Steam and log in to my account?

No they don't start downloading, you have to select the game then press on the big button that says "download".
