Get in game quick

I got tired of going thru the whole steam menu when I wanted to enter a game. I set up some quick launch icons on my desktop. For those interested here is how ya do it.

Open up your "games" menu
Choose the mod you wish to set up for quick launch and right click it Click "Create desktop shortcut"
Now go to your desktop and right click on the icon
Click "properties"
You will see a line that looks like this ""C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 30", this example is for dod Add "+connect" and the ip adress of the server
click "apply"
Here is an example of mine for TV1 "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 30 +connect 209.242.10.135

For those of you that are Gold Supporters then this will really come in handy for accessing your reserved spot priveledges.
