TomL is correct. There is no point in you renaming or altering your addons folder since a Valve update won't touch those.

Using the steps presented by TomL will allow you to simply doubleclick on your newly created shortcut to update or validate your server files. No need to rename/delete/copy anything.

I run a TF2 Server. I have a separate directory called steamcmd with all of the steam cmd files. In that folder, I created two files....

First file: called: C:\steamcmd\update.bat

steamcmd +runscript tf2update.txt

Second file: called: c:\steamcmd\tf2update.txt

login anonymous force_install_dir C:\TF2Server app_update 232250 validate quit

When I need to update, I simply go to a command prompt and type:

CD\STEAMCMD UPDATE

When it is done, I type: EXIT

You're done!
