Is there a command line argument to disable the STEAM Overlay.

I'm playing Descent 3 Source Port, i disabled the STEAM Overlay while ingame, yet it still shows up whn hitting Shift-Tab, which is also used ingame to bring up the Objectives Screen.
Is there a commandline argument that forces the overlay OFF?

I eventually rebound the overlay key like you suggested. That does the trick for now, thank you very much Dranak!
