Thanks to all how have contribute to get this working. Only Posting this because there are now 5 Threads with this Instruction broken over many Pages.
ATTENTION:
Use this Registryhack on your own Risk - but in fact there is not much that can happen!
If Steam releases their own Patch the worst what could happen is that you have to reinstall COD4 - but i dont think so.
Thank you steam forums guys!
