When you point to an icon in the Windows 95 user interface and click the right mouse button, Windows 95 presents a shortcut menu for that icon. If an Autorun.inf file is present on a CD, Windows 95 automatically adds AutoPlay to the shortcut menu, and sets it as the default behavior. Double-clicking the icon will carry out whatever is specified in the open command.

To add the command ReadMe to the shortcut menu for your product, include the following in the Autorun.inf file:

shell\readit\command=notepad abc\readme.txt

shell\readit=Read &Me
