Resetting Steam Achivements?
Is it possiable?
I've tried searching for a way, but no luck.
I want to do this because I loaded someones elses save, (stupid of me) and got a load of achivemnts that I wanted to gain myself.

Not sure, however if you reset them all you will have to do some of the things you had already done in your own game over again to trigger them as they don't all just come automatically with a save. (Eg loading a mature DVD TC gamesave does not trigger all the relevant Steam TC achievements.) I am a bit surprised loading your mate's save gave you all that many more achievements anyway.
A dog has a master; a cat has domestic staff.
I don't mind resetting them all, I was thinking about starting a new game after everything I learned from my first one anyway.
The save game was from the AP unfoccused jump drive thread, was really intrested as how he built his empire, so when I loaded it up it gave me achivements like the 5 star marine and the 2 billion credits.
I just want to know if its possible.
Thanks!

Right click on the game in the Steam client and choose Properties. On the General tab click on the Launch Options button. Type "-clearstatsandachievements" (without the quotes) into the box there and click on OK. Now close the Properties screen and launch the game. This should reset your stats and achievements for that game. Remember to go back in there and remove that option again once you've done it, otherwise everything will be reset every time you start the game! This should work for both X3TC and X3AP, separately of course.

Very useful information. Does this switch only work with ES titles on steam or also non-ES titles?

I didn't read it anywhere; I got the information direct from the person who implemented it in the game.
It only works in X3TC and X3AP, though of course there's nothing stopping other developers from doing something similar in their games.
