Stay offline after turning off your computer
Hi, is there any way which allows me to keep my status offline after I shut down my pc so that I don't have to hide my friend list everytime I log in

What do you mean? If you turn your PC off, the Steam Client application is terminated, and therefore you're disconnected from the network. If you're still online even after shutting down the PC you're either:
- also logged on your mobile device (sometimes the mobile client is stuck in online unless you close the app;
or:
- compromised and someone else has access to your account...

Go under settings, the friends option and uncheck the first choice: "Automaticly log into Friends when launching Steam".

At least, I hope it's that what you are looking for.

I mean that a few days ago when I turned my computer off I was invisible and after I turning it on I didn't have to become invisible again because I was already invisible from the last access.

I think he means to stop Steam client from starting (when PC starts) with Online status

Check Jerry's post. That should be it.
