Multiple (All) steam accounts launched at once (BUG+SUGGESTION) #507

Hi, so yesterday i downloaded the account switcher, and right after installing it when i wanted to switch the acc it showed me that it needs to rerun with admin rights, so i clicked okay and it restarted with admin rights. Then i chose steam and clicked Log in (i didnt click any account, so the default one was selected but i dont think that matters).
And then magically ALL of my steam accounts were run, and they were all run at the same time, since in the same directory as steam.exe i have steam2.exe file which is the same (copy), but the only difference it its set to always run with avast AV sandbox feature, so all of the accounts were run at the same time every in different window. And it was exactly the same twice in the row, and then i turned off pc

I had default settings since i had just installed it, also if that matters i have on steam the choose account on every launch option turned on and the steam was completely closed (even from tray).

Unfortunately i wasn't able to replicate it today, the closest thing i got: sometimes, but it seems pretty random, i do sometimes (pretty rarely) get the steam run in the sandbox mode (using steam2.exe) but it only runs the selected account instead of all of the accounts possible. I've even tried reinstalling the whole program but I still wasn't able to trigger it.

So after this long story:

  1. What do you think can cause this? How to replicate it?
  2. Could this be added as a feature? -
    . a) option to choose steam.exe file which i want instead of the default one
    . b) option to run all, or multiple (selected) accounts at once
