How to Use Idle Master for Hours
Jshackles (the creator) told us in a previous post that there was a way to run games with the idler to get hours (since we couldnt run games after we recieved the cards). He said something to do with the steam-idle.exe in the folder it comes with, but when I open it nothing happens. Is there any tutorial on how to do this?
Thanks

FAQ - http://steamcommunity.com/groups/idlemastery/discussions/0/615085406651320102/

The steam-idle.exe application that's included with Idle Master can be given a command line argument of the appid of the game you'd like to idle. For example, if you'd like to idle Team Fortress 2 for playtime, you can simply run "steam-idle.exe 440" from a command prompt. There is no user interface for this, it must be done through the command line.

He posted saying "you'd like to idle Team Fortress 2 for playtime, you can simply run "steam-idle.exe 440" from a command prompt. There is no user interface for this, it must be done through the command line.". This makes no sense to me

Run steam-idle.exe "your_game_ID_here" from command line. TF2 (440) using for example.

When typing " run steam-idle.exe 730" into command prompt it replys saying 'run' is not recongnized as am omterma; pr external command, operable program or batch file.
