I'm trying to create a cd that will automatically open a setup file *and* a .txt file when the disk is inserted.

I've tried:
[autorun]
shellexecute=MediaMonkeySetup.exe
open=readme.txt

but it didn't work. All the info on the web doesn't address how to open more than one file at a time, nor files of different types. Please help?

You can add multiple actions for your CD:

[autorun]
open=MediaMonkeySetup.exe
shell\readme\command=notepad readme.txt
shell\readme=Readme
shell\something\command=do_something.exe
shell\something=Do something
shell=readme

If you want to open several files at a time, then you should create a batch file and put an "open" line in the autorun.inf file that points to that .bat file.
Like:
(autorun.inf)

[autorun]
open=cmd.exe /c autorun.bat

(autorun.bat)

@echo off
start somefile.exe
start readme.txt

You must use START or the files won't open at the same time.
You can even open .doc, .xls... files with the START command.
