I was in DOS and I used fsutil behavior set disable 8dot3 1. I don't know if that has anything to do with it but anyway when I type find "steam" or any other string (I know steam is a string in my installation) it just goes a line down and the - blicks and doesn't do anything.. I left it for 20 minutes and nothing.

No.

If you post the way your using the command we can help more. Remember you can use the redirect operators with the find command like, dir | find "desktop". That will pipe the output from the directory listing (dir) to the find command to find the string (in this case a folder) called desktop. You would normally put a filename and path after "desktop".
