The game should have made a shortcut. Try using that. Or look in the start menu.

If you were trying to install with Half-Life 1, you'll need to run it once before you can do so properly.

If you were trying to install with Counter-Strike, you need to make sure it's not from a Condition-Zero pack, or it won't work.

The only other game you can install with is Day Of Defeat. If you weren't using any of the three I mentioned, you won't be able to play.

I get the feeling you didn't install it correctly.
ESF is a mod of the Half-Life 1 engine, it needs to be in the Half-Life 1 folder in order for it to work properly (or one of the other games I mentioned).

Would that be what's causing your problem?

This also happened to me, make sure ESF is installed in steam applications in the steam folder and don't copy ESF from the current place to steam apps, because steam has to identify it, so reinstall it into steam apps. and also remember in HALF-LIFE's folder!

Before you actually going to call people noobs, you may want to take a look at your own spelling. such as "gusy" "r" "bcuz" "wit "sorce".. All wrong. So, don't call people noobs, doesn't matter if you don't know the English language perfectly, the fact is you call them noobs, while you shouldn't at all.

Anyway, since you have Half-Life 2, you have to switch steam accounts to play the games. Which is annoying sometimes. I'm not rather sure if the gold edition has Half-Life 1 included, but i don't think so. And i have no idea what your problem is, would be nice if you would be more specific. If you are talking about shortcuts, simple click on the right with the right mouse button, and select "create shortcut".

ESF won't work with CS:CZ. You'll need to install it into Half-Life 1, Day Of Defeat, or a version of Counter-Strike that is not part of the Condition-Zero pack.

As well, Skyrider is right. Try to refrain from insulting people.
