randommag was asking about setting favorites and all and i posted this.  Took for granted that everyone kinda knew how to do it but in case you dont here is how.

this is only server i play so to make it easier, shortcut right to it.   right click your cod4 multiplayer icon and click on properties.  in the TARGET box, add the ip so it looks like this.

                                         "C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" + connect 162.248.95.178

 

if the directory is different than this default one, basically you are just adding   ( _+connect_162.248.95.178) the the target line.  that way when you double click the multiplayer icon, it loads the multi player then connects to that ip. 

you can also  copy paste the original and add the ip to different servers you want and just rename the icon to XIFREEZETAG, XITDM, .........

i tend to stick around on servers that ive played on for the last 10 years so this was a great tip i got years ago. 

if you share the game with other people in the house and want it to load different config files at start you can add that as well.

going through in game server lists is such a pain they all filled with bots or redirects, so if ya find a server ya like and want to keep playing on, this the easiest way besides keeping a notepad next to your pc

Do a copy of the shortcut and rename it to acemod etc and just change the IP address

exactly, if your a server hopper it might not be for you.  But if its just a few, just saves time and is easier to click the icon for the server you want to play instead of loading game and typing in the ip you want.  i get redirected a lot of the time anyway so you can always /connect ###### as well.
