How to find your L4D installation folder

Locating the L4D folder on your computer will enable you to complete certain important tasks.

For example:

  • installing or removing custom campaign maps (known as addons)
  • edit your autoexec.cfg file (this is where you can bind commands to certain keys in a file)
  • and other cool stuff.

Locating your L4D folder on Windows:

Open Steam, go to your L4D game, right click then click on properties:

Now click on installed files then click browse:

Windows File Explorer will open then (screenshot below).

In this example, the L4D folder is installed here:
E:\Spiele\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\cfg

Now create a shortcut to your L4D folder, so you have easy access to it should you want to make changes in the future.
To create a shortcut on your Desktop, do these three clicks (screenshot below, from left to right):

  1. right click on left4dead
  2. scroll down to the ‘send to’ option,
  3. select your own desktop (or somewhere else on your computer you can easily find it).

locate it on macOS

  • Open the App Finder on your Macintosh.
    or
  • Use your macOS Steam-Client the same way it is shown for Windows above.
