"C:\Program Files\Half-Life"

Note that there is a copy of the original file called "hl-original.exe". For more info look here.

6) You are now ready to join a game! In the main menu of Half-Life click on Multiplayer, then Internet Servers.
Now wait a couple of seconds until you see a new screen, here press Update on the left side to get a new list of servers, which should then appear in the middle of the screen.
Just double click them to join!
