2.Right click on the shortcut and select properties.

3.The target field contains the link to the exe file of which you made the shortcut.For me its written as "D:\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\iw3mp.exe" so after the last double quotes you should type the following - +r_fullscreen "0".

4.(Important point) Remember that there should be a space between the double quotes and +r.
