Login to Steam using a web broswer.
Once logged click on your profile and add

orhttp://steamcommunity.com/profiles/<yourprofilenumber>/?xml=1
(if you have not set a public username yet)Method 2
Open this file
<Steam Installation Path>\config\loginusers.vdf
in notepad.You'll receive a long XML file but you can look at tag at the beggining. It contains your 64-bit SteamID.
Get your SteamID 32-bit
Using a simple formula you can also build your Steam 32-bit ID similar to
STEAM_X:Y:Z
(e.g.STEAM_1:0:12345678
) starting from Steam 64-bit ID
