Actually there's no need to go in game. Go to you Steam folder in IExplore and look for Steam.txt (this is a log showing all your sessions). Then sift through it and look for a line similar to this<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->CsComm ConnectionPool Sep-18-2003 11:57:23.772 [1440] Found existing connection 1,216.144.226.197:27030 for <span style='color:red'><b>0:1:12213</b></span><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->where the bold red number is your SteamID. It will ALWAYS be in the form of X:X:XXXXX with "X" being the applicable numbers.
