you gotta modify the file "MainMenu.res"
located at: X:\program files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\resource\UI\L4D360UI

1. open it with notepad
2. look at how the code is built up.
3. add this code somewhere inbetween (depending where you like the menu item to be):

Code:

// Server Browser
"BtnOpenServer"
{
"ControlName" "L4D360HybridButton"
"fieldName" "BtnOpenServer"
"xpos" "100"
"ypos" "175" [$X360]
"ypos" "165" [$WIN32]
"wide" "180" [$X360]
"wide" "180" [$WIN32]
"tall" "20" [$X360]
"tall" "15" [$WIN32]
"autoResize" "1"
"pinCorner" "0"
"visible" "1"
"enabled" "1"
"tabPosition" "0"
"navUp" "BtnPlaySolo"
"navDown" "BtnStatsAndAchievements"
"labelText" "OPEN SERVER BROWSER"
"tooltiptext" "Look for a server using the server list."
"style" "MainMenuButton"
"command" "OpenServerBrowser"
"ActivationType" "1"
"FocusDisabledBorderSize" "1"
}

4. save
5. launch game and see your new menu item saying "OPEN SERVER BROWSER"

Nice find. I wonder why they didnt add that feature in normally. Maybe they wanted to force people to use the Lobby system.
